Clicking the Preferences button at the bottom of the Downloads window does bring up the download Preferences correctly. This issue only occurs when the Downloads window is active and in focus. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose "Downloads" from the "Tools" menu. 2. Choose "Preferences..." from the "Firefox" application menu. Actual Results: Nothing happens. The Downloads window remains in focus. Expected Results: The Preferences dialog should appear and come into focus. Default theme.

In fact, no Firefox-Mac/20040529 menu items work when the Downloads window has focus.

Setting blocking0.9? since the original reporter is on 0.8. To be honest, I'm not sure if we should consider this a blocker for 0.9, but since it is kind of a major problem, I'm setting blocking0.9? so that someone will look at it and make the call.

See bug 227525, as it talks about this very issue in comment #1

This is a dup of bug 239218... deals with all tools (Download Manger, DOM Inspector and JavaScript Console) all being non-functional...

this is a big ol' can of worms. not for 0.9.

I used to be able to get around this by putting the download manager into the dock, with Firefox 1.0 this is no longer possible. If you don't have a browser window visible there is now no possibility of opening a new window unless the download manager is closed.

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 (PowerBook) Not only are the menus inaccessible, but the hotkeys for menu commands are as well. When the Downloads Manager has focus cmd-n will not create a new window, cmd-o does nothing, cmd-m will not minimize it. If the Downloads Manager is the only window open, the only two ways to create a new browser window are to 1) close the downloads manager; or 2) send Firefox a url to open from another application.

moving blocking1.0mac bugs to Firefox1.1 Target Milestone.

All windows really should have a menu on Mac OS X. If there's no menu, either copy the parent window's menu, or use a default minimal menu that provides access to Firefox->*, Window->*, and File->*

the workaround for this is: 1.) minimize the download window to the dock 2.) focus another application (such as finder) 3.) cmd+tab back to firefox (you cannot click the firefox icon on the dock) 4.) hit cmd+n to get a new window this'll allow you to get a new window if you have no others open but the download manager. this probably trips me up at least once per day. very problematic.
