I had the same problem not long after i started usin' firefox. It turns out part of my problem was just that i had let the download manager fill up with downloads. I had the download manager set to manual instead of having it set to "remove files from the download manager when firefox exits" After deleting the files from the download manager and changing that setting and updating, the problem went away.

Now this was a while back, so I may left something out...
Edgar Reviewed by Edgar on . Switching back to IE... In the past few months, my copy of Firefox has picked up this annoying habit of not responding for a while (about 30-60 seconds) and then disappearing from my taskbar. I have to keep clicking alternatively on the Desktop and back to Firefox in order for it to reappear, and then it will just do the same thing again a couple minutes later. :mad: Despite several upgrades, the bug has not been fixed. So I'm switching back to Internet Explorer for the time being, which is a hell of a lot faster Rating: 5
