On my laptop I have stable, and firefox has the behaviour which I described (hangs whenever I try to download a file). Just to be clear, firefox works well for the rest, it is just when I try downloading a .zip or a .tar.gz or similar that it hangs. I also suspect misconfiguration, but: - I tried with a fresh account (no .mozilla or .firefox directories in the just cretaed home direcory) and it still does not work. - I downloaded the 1.5 direcly from mozilla size, and it has the same behaviour (which is weird, because on my other computer it does not). - I tried uninstalling (with apt-get remove --purge) and then reinstalling the package, but nothing changes. So, probably misconfiguration at system level. This started to happen when I did an apt-get upgrade (from stable) a couple of months ago. This is why I filed the bug report. What also could I check ?
