Please include an option to limit download speeds.

I'm stuck on a slow wireless at the moment. And it seems this really hinders the usage of Firefox when I have downloads going on. I can EITHER download OR browse the web, if I try to do both the browsing is totally choked. However, there are periods when the browsing requires zero bandwidth when I'm reading the pages and it would be nice if these times could be utilized automatically by the download.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a skimpy wireless connection
2. Start a large DOWNLOAD
3. Try to BROWSE the web
4. You will quickly notice the two are mutually exclusive
