Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
In firefox 3 beta 5, in the download manager, both the Pause/Resume and Cancel icons are very small, and they are positioned right next to each other. You have to be slow and careful when clicking Pause/Resume, it would be easy to accidentally click Cancel instead, with potentially disastrous consequences.

Actually, it is not as bad as I thought. You can in fact resume a download after cancelling (it's called retry, but works the same as resume). So I would not want to waste anyone's time with this bug.
Now I'm not sure what the difference between pause and cancel is. Maybe canceled downloads get automatically cleaned up while paused ones are kept?
