I have been using Firefox without problem since April 14, 2011. In the last few days, the Tools>Downloads (cmd-J) stopped working. My downloaded files are in the downloads directory found at username/downloads, but neither the keyboard shortcut nor going to Tools>Downloads will work.

I have reinstalled 4.0.1 and deleted the plist file from my Library/Firefox directory.

Any suggestions?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Are there any messages in the Tools > Error Console about this?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

See:

If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
