Firefox crashes when I download a .img from Meego
When downloading the image (.img) file for MeeGo+Chrome (http://meego.com/), Firefox leaks memory and doesn't save anything more than a few hundred KB to disk of the 800 MB file.
If you pause the download then the memory leak also pauses!
Once Firefox occupies around 1 GB it locks up completely and has to be killed, meaning no Crash ID.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox. You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work. Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing. .......... See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_save_or_download_files
Turning off the anti-virus both in about:config and stopping the windows services did not solve the problem.
I then tried running Firefox in safe mode and the memory leak issue disappeared, which means the problem lies with one of my installed addons.
The addon 'Firebug 1.54' was the cause of the memory leak.
I have the same problem. Firefox 3.6.6 and windows 7. I thought the new firefox was supposed to stop plugins from crashing the whole browser? Though I didn't verify it was because of firebug. Just used a nother browser to download the .img file.
I had the exact same problem, disabling Firebug (and also Yslow, but I don't know if that was related or not) let me complete the download.
