I tried this: But I can't change the download directory by setting it in the preferences, in the prefs.js file or using about:config. Firefox continues to save in the last directory I used, whatever the settings. Very strange that. I can change it by just choosing some other place in the the "save as" dialog, but I cannot get rid of that dialog (in theory for instance setting "Saves files to Desktop" should get away with that dialog, but it doesn't). When I change the directory things indeed get fast enough: But this is still a problem, as I prefer to have everything in the same directory. I also wonder, why this suddenly becomes a problem: The Debian sarge Firefox didn't have that problem. > Also, perhaps an aptitude reinstall of some of the mozilla/gecko > libraries will help?

They seem to be all installed ok and there are no stale libraries laying around, as far as I can see (using ldconfig). Thanks a lot!
