THANK YOU!

1) Close Firefox 2) Delete downloads.sqlite from the Profile folder 3) Start Firefox

FF will create a NEW sqlite file that WORKS. Downloads now do not crash the program!

Brilliant! Worked for me. Have had this problem for a year now. Had to make sure firefox.exe was ended in task manager first though as it wouldn't do it first time round. Thanks cor-el!
