Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

WFM with latest nightly

1. yes , The problem, Happened in safe mode too
2. With new empty profile happens too
btw: this problem has not happened only with the one above link , there are more website , but since one is russian forum (and for downloding the attachment , u need to subscribe , guess it's bit hard for u to try with other links...
P.S :But anyway i attached one tar.gz file in this ticket , which u could do experiment on it , i mean with firefox (7, 8 , 9 , 10 beta ) if u get the attached file , after downloading the file is corrupted (by firefox) , but with other browser this problem not happend with the same file (link)

I am able to open the file you attached using 7-zip with all versions of Firefox I tested. 

How do you know these files are corrupt? What zip program are you running? You may want to try 7-zip from www.7-zip.org.

Well , i tried with winrar .
Now , i try with 7zip , confirm u (i mean after downloading with firefox , 7zip could extract it , guess 7zip automatically make repair when user extract ...)

Anyway still the problem is concern about firefox (not winrar problem) because when with other browser like chrome , IE , i download the same link , even with winrar could extract it well here . but when use firefox + winrar -> error log shows the file is corrupted.
would u please try once with winrar ( i am sure , u could reporduce the problem with firefox and winrar .

Thanks in advance

I just reproduced all the steps and it seems to be working properly, maybe we can close this issue.
