I am using FF 3.0.10. Ever since this most recent update, the Downloads dialogue box is not clearing. Even though the download completes properly, the dialogue box remains visibile & it says that that the dl is commencing. I then have to go in & manually clear the box to remove it.

Per a thread in a FF forum, I deleted the downloads.sqlite file from my Profile folder while FF was closed. But even though I've done this at least 2x, the problem remains. (See http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum...&forumId=1)

This didn't happen with the previous version of FF. Also, I have NOT added any new Add Ons.

Extensions installed:
CS Lite 1.4
Dictionary Search 3.0
Canadian English Dictionary 1.1.2
US English Dictionary 3.0.3
Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 1.0
Password Exporter 1.1
StumbleUpon 3.29
Surf Canyon Search Engine Assistant 2.04



Plugins installed:
* Photodex Presenter Plugin 3,50,0,2249
* Default Plug-in
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape
* The QuickTime Plugin allows you to view a wide variety of multimedia content in Web pages. For more information, visit the QuickTime Web site.
* Java™ Platform SE binary
* RealJukebox Netscape Plugin
* RealPlayer™ LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In
* 6.0.12.1662
* np-mswmp
* Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator
* Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12
* iTunes Detector Plug-in
* Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) plug-in for Mozilla browsers
* Google Update
* Java Plug-in 1.6.0_10 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)

Any help is gratefully accepted with many thanks and much kow-towing. ;)

I am unable to view your other topic.

Please check this setting:

Options ==> Tools ==> Privacy Tab

Under history, you will see the following text "Remember What I've Downloaded". If there is a checkmark beside it, you will need to remove it.

Hiya,

Sorry that the link doesn't work. No idea why that happened, 'cuz I tested it from the preview pane before I put up my post. :flowers:

Anyways, it looks like your solution may have worked. Amazing how in the FF forum I've gotten little, if any help! Another interesting point is how this was never an issue in previous FF versions. Methinks they changed the default.

Thanks!
:thumbsup:

It may have to do with the "tiki-view" that I see in the link.
