Hey everyone
I've had Firefox for years, and suddenly it has stopped downloading almost everything. It still downloads small executables (some installers) and it display pages 100% fine, but it no longer downloads pictures or other files. Has anyone else experienced this? Apparently this happened to one of my friends and he was unable to fix it. I tried reinstaling to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had significant lag, then I disabled the download manager in the options and the lag was gone. For a while... it gradually seems to get slower and slower. At the moment Internet Explorer is a speed demon in comparison.

How many files in you "Downloads" folder? The download manager enumerates files in that folder berfore downloading so any lag may be due to a full folder.
