I just replaced Firefox 3.0.9 with Firefox 3.0.10. Before that it was working fine. Now, if I launch a fresh Firefox instance and press CTRL+Y (Downloads) a window appears but it has zero size. If I find it and expand it, it's blank. Clicking on a download link results in similar behaviour. The only way I can download a file is right click and save target as. So far everything else seems to be working, it's just the downloads that are broken. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Firefox 3.0.10 2. Launch Firefox 3. Press CTRL+Y Actual Results: Invisible/zero size blank window appears. Expected Results: Download window should appear. Athlon 64 running in 32 bit x86 mode, 4GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 8600GT.
Does not happen for me on amd64. Please try again with a clean profile (move ~/.mozilla).
Renamed ~/.mozilla but it didn't seem to make any difference - pressing CTRL+Y brings up a window with the title "Firefox", no content and zero size.

This is very strange, now that I switched the computer off then on again it seems to be working again. I also appear to have lost many of my settings. Why would I have to reboot after a Firefox upgrade?
I presume this isn't reproducible anymore? Please reopen if that's not the case.
