Firefox hanging when downloading

    Hi
    I've done the rounds of the internet this week trying to fix the problem but no luck so far. Just wondering if anyone else had and fixed this problem...

    Firefox 3.6.12 hangs (not responding) while downloading fairly large files >200MB
    The download just stops several minutes or seconds before the end. And the only way to fix is force stop Firefox which kills the download. This happens over WiFi and wired. So it's not the internet connection and it happens in different places so it must be the laptop or Firefox. I can use IE (but prefer FF).

    I've done all the suggestions on line... cleared the Download history, disabled plugins and extensions.

    Is there a setting somewhere that sets the download limit?

    Sounds like it could be one of the Firefox plugins is causing you problems... assuming that you have actually got the space on your hard drive..

    Try downloading it with a different browser (google chrome, explorer, opera) and if it works on that, then remove Firefox then download the latest version and reinstall.
