Does it hang before the downloadmanager opens or if it finished downloading and the virus scan starts ?

Hello,
  I am using Firefox 3.6.6 and I encounter the same bug ( on safe mode, clean profile, working profile).

Steps to reproduce are the same.

Firefox freezes when "left-click" on the download link, or "right-click-->save as". The download dialog doesn't come out.

If I close Firefox using the "X" button, Windows XP reports
"The program is not responding."

the Error signature:
szAppName : firefox.exe     szAppVer : 1.9.2.3828     szModName : hungapp     
szModVer : 0.0.0.0     offset : 00000000
