I am using Firefox 6.0.2 and I can't pause any downloads. I have both the pause and cancel buttons next to the selected download but cannot use the pause one. I can click it but nothing happens. However, the cancel download button is working. How can I fix this?

I would first update to the latest version of Firefox & attempt to pause the download as you stated to verify if this resolved the issue.

1. On the menu bar click the Firefox menu and select About Firefox.

2. The About Firefox window will open and Firefox will begin checking for updates. If updates are available, they will begin downloading automatically. If Firefox is already up to date, just close the About Firefox window.

3. When the updates are downloaded and ready to be installed, click Apply Update. Firefox will be restarted and the updates will be installed.


Note: Firefox does not automatically update plugins (like Adobe Flash, Quicktime or Java). Update your plugins at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

Have you updated to the current version since you posted your initial question? The current version of Firefox for Mac OS X 10.6 is version 8.0.1 & it states you are currently using 6.0.2


Click Firefox in the top left > Help > About Firefox & the latest version should automatically update. If it does not manual instructions are provided above.
