Whenever I download a file with Firefox, I can no longer go to any new URLS, or run searches; I have to exit & restart to get it working again.
I'm running Windows 7 Enterprise-64 bit, SP1 I have tried resetting Firefox & have tried re-installing it. Neither made any difference. It does not seem to matter what type of file I download. Once I have downloaded any file, I am unable to connect to any other sites, getting an error indicating that the site cannot be found. I get the same effect if I try to use a bookmark, or if I type in the URL.

Try below.
- In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page. A list of settings should appear
- Filter the list by typing in the search bar at the top. Type in scanWhenDone. You should now find the "browser.download.scanWhenDone" preference.
- Double-click on that preference to set the value to false.
- Next, try to download something and see if it still has issues.
