Bug Description
I used the "auto" upgrade option from 7.1 to 8.04 so I now have firefox 3.0b5.
I only have one user on the system and when using firefox I can't download a file. If I select "open file" it crashes firefox. If I select "download" then the dialogue goes away but does not download the file.
The preferences in firefox do not let me specify a download location. I can't type into the text box and the Browse option does nothing.
If I start firefox from terminal it says "Segmentation fault" after the crash.
If I use the root terminal to start firefox the downloads work as expected but I then have permissions problems with the downloaded files
