Many download lead to firefox crash can't remove
Hi,
I've downloaded 1300 files in the same time via firefox, which lead to firefox to crash and when ever I strat the download resume and do crash. i tried to enter via safemode but i could't remove the download queue.
Chosen solution
The default delay to resume downloads is 4 seconds as set via this pref:
- browser.download.saveLinkAsFilenameTimeout = 4000
You can create a user.js file and add a line to set a higher delay.
- user_pref("browser.download.saveLinkAsFilenameTimeout", 20000);
Firefox manages downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library (History > Show All History) and stores the download history in the places.sqlite file. Deleting places.sqlite and possible places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wal files will delete the history. Firefox should rebuild the bookmarks automatically from a JSON backup in the bookmarkbackups folder.
You can try to start Firefox with the Library window by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut. Add a space and -chrome chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul to the target field in the Properties.
I don't know if that will prevent Firefox from resuming paused or unfinished downloads.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

At the same time?

Dear Cor-el,
part 2 of your soultion was informative. I also renamed the following files: downloads.jason dta_queue.sqlite cookies.sqlite cookies.sqlite-shm cookies.sqlite content-prefs.sqlite cookies.sqlite-wal
and its working ok now
thanks for your advise
