[Bug 225393] [NEW] Firefox 3 file download permission problem crashes firefox.

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I used the "auto" upgrade option from 7.1 to 8.04 so I now have firefox
3.0b5.

I only have one user on the system and when using firefox I can't
download a file. If I select "open file" it crashes firefox. If I select
"download" then the dialogue goes away but does not download the file.

The preferences in firefox do not let me specify a download location. I
can't type into the text box and the Browse option does nothing.

If I start firefox from terminal it says "Segmentation fault" after the
crash.

If I use the root terminal to start firefox the downloads work as
expected but I then have permissions problems with the downloaded files
