Just downloaded Firefox 5.0. Now, whenever I try to download a file, the Download Window opens, I see the progress of the file downloading, but then it disappears. The Downloads Window is blank. I can't find the downloaded file anywhere on my computer.

I cleared the list of downloaded files in the Download Window. Now the window is blank, even though I have downloaded several files.
