The download completed successfully, but the download window did not come up and the "downloads complete" message did not display. When I looked in the error console, I found this: Error: not well-formed Source File: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Miranda%20Galvin/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/zy06frll.default/downloads.rdf Line: 17, Column: 63 Source Code: <RDF:li RDF:resource="C:\DOCUME~1\MIRAND~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\hþJipart-mixed; boundary=-------------090202050101070701090402-.doc"/>--------------------------------------------------------------^ When I opened the downloads.rdf file manually, I found that indeed, the download listed above had some funky characters in it (I'm guessing that's the problem). I believe this file was downloaded from Gmail. If it would be helpful, I could email the offending downloads.rdf file, which I saved. When I opened the downloads window within Firefox, it was blank and the error console displayed: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "ServiceManager::GetService returned failure code:" nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.js :: Startup :: line 476" data: no] Hitting clean up did not fix the problem. Deleting the downloads.rdf file did, of course, fix the problem. Reproducible: Always

Michael, could you attach the downloads.rdf file to the bug, by using the "Create a New Attachment" link?

This is the file that caused the error.

Fixed with Bug 380250.
