move you .mozilla directory away (backup!) and try with fresh profile.

I've moved the directory in another place, started with a new profile and all seems ok...then I return to the old profile deleting the new and copying the old...now all seems to work...and downloadstatusbar gave me an error on the update(hash error)...i have uninstalled the extension...

I'm having the same issue, happened after I auto-upgraded to 3.0, I think (in Ubuntu), I believe that the download bar was automatically added at some point along the way, possibly during my upgrade to Ubuntu Hardy Heron, and I'll see if the "completed download crash" stops when I deactivate the download bar.

It was an upgrade from a previous version of firefox, so there may have been issues with the attempts to keep pre-existing extensions, as well.

May have been related to the Prism extension that I had installed, as after disabling it downloads are now working (the download bar add-on is still enabled).

Same issue here. This is Ubuntu 8.04 (amd64) with Firefox v3.0.4 (Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US;). I moved the .mozilla dir to a backup and let FF create a new profile. No extensions at all, as expected. I let it search for DownThemAll, installed it and tested.

Same deal. It downloads just fine, then about 4 seconds after completion, the FF and DownThemAll windows gray out and FF hangs. I have to ForceQuit them.

Hi,
I bought a TV last week from a website:www.hkeles.com. I have
received the product. The quality is very good. They also sell
phones,motor,psp and so on. Because of the financial crisis, their
products are very cheap. by the way, they only sell new and original
products .If you need these products, you can have a look . I think
you will get many benefits.
Greetings!
