    these annoy me, firstly the download window that pops up when you download something - can you get rid of it its a nuisance, also can you stop firefox scanning for viruses when you download

    thx guys

    Its probably your anti-virus scanning on download.

    You can get loads of download extensions that stop the pop up. There is one I used to use that integrated it into the side pane. can't remember what it is called.

    I'm an Opera man so don't pay attention to Firefox that much.

    Tools > Options > Main > Uncheck Show the Downloads window when downloading a file.

    Not sure about the AV scan.

    edit: type about:config into your address bar and paste browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone into the filter -- change the value to false.

    I like Download Status Bar. It gets rid of that pop-up window and replaces it with a small status bar on the bottom left. You can customise it to show as much information as you want.

    By latest do you mean a beta or just an Updated Version of Firefox 3. If it is the latter, I have never had it crash when using boards...

    Sorry, its 3.0.6

    I'm hoping its a bug with an add-on cause i generally hate other browsers.
