Firefox endlessly restarts finished download after restart

Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox finished a download and after a while crashes. After a restart of Firefox and choosing "restart previous session" it starts to download the file again.
An attempt to open the download dialog box and interrupt the download results in a froozen Firefox application.

Further information:

  firefox 2.0.0.14+2nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10
  Ubuntu-7.10

What I expected:

  * the download is finished so it should not start after a Firefox restart
  * the download dialog should honor my request to stop the download and not freeze the application

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Is this one still reproduceable in the firefox 3.0 series? Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs? Also, please answer these questions:
Is this crash reproducible? If so, which are the steps that lead to it?
Which flash package do you have installed?
