You could add .torrent to the Automatically clear these filetypes. it would auto clear after 5 seconds or so…

I got “download statusbah” a while ago and love it. The only problem is that torrents tend to stay on there well after the torrent is downloaded, so I have to manually remove it from the bar. Besides that, it’s pissah.

I have “Stop Autoplay”, but I don’t think it works. Whenever a GIS leads to a myspace page, the hideous music starts blasting regortless.

Ok, I finally got off my lazy butt and figured out what the freezing was - if you let your download history get too big it slows the download manager down a lot. I just cleared it and the problem is gone. So thanks (tangentially)!

Not having a freezing when downloading issue, but 2.0.4 will randomly crash on me. Always opens back up to the same tabs, so not too big a deal.

Since you asked…

In addition to several of the above, I also use:

- Clippings - Store things you find yourself typing all too often and just paste them in. Great for Flickr tags.
- Resizable Form Fields - Take control of text windows and pull-down menus! Not working at this blog though - Bah!
- Web Developer Toolbar - A must for web page design IMHO. Lets you view everything from table and div containers to labeled CSS to a color palette. If you do web design I also recommend grabbing ColorZilla.

Anyone else having that problem where Firefox freezes whenever it downloads a file? It’s driving me crazy.
