Firefox corrupt downloads

[perellicippo]

Binary package hint: firefox

Sometimes the download are corrupted
I've downloaded some files from rapidshare, megaupload, or a link on my gmail account and files were zip, rar, and jpg
compressed files were corrupted with different deflating error for the same file
the images seemed a puzzle :-)
i've changed the browser, Epiphany, and all works well
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080207 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.12

when you want to download a file, rapidshare(or another web hosting service) propose to you a page where you must insert a code, then you click on a button to download your file
you select where you want to save your file and store it... that's all
it's the same in gmail with an image... on the right there is a link to download the image.. click on it and save in a folder...
these are normal things that a browser can do for a long time
but now... 50% of downloaded file are corrupted using firefox
the zip or rar file present a different deflating error in the same file downloaded 3/4 times...

A new version of Firefox has been released. Since this bug has been marked for expiration I am setting the status to Fix Complete. Feel free to set the status back to New if the problem still exists.
