All of FF locks up until a pop up appears and says that this script chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/download.xml:68 is busy.

There is another suppport entry like this, but it was for the MAC, and I did not see a way to add "Me too" but with a different configurations.

Try to reset the download history and delete downloads.sqlite (plus downloads.rdf, if it exists) in the Profile Folder

See:

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

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
