Selecting "save this link as..." from the pop-up menu allows correct download without crash. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create two OS X user accounts on the same machine. The primary account must be admin. 2. Enable fast user switching (System Preferences) 3. Install Firefox using primary account 4. Launch Firefox in primary account 5.
