Since being upgraded to firefox 6 (unwillingly), flashgot no longer functions, it will crash firefox the instant a download is added. Is firefox 6 support going to be added soon?

I should specify, this only occurs when using downthemall. Using the browser-based downloader this is not an issue.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce.

Does it happen for you even on a clean profile with just FlashGot & DtA installed?
If it does, could you point me to the exact actions (page, links, command) I must perform to make it crash?
Could you also send me the latest (topmost) links in your about:crashes page?

Interestingly, only one of my PCs does it. The other PC (which actually updated to firefox 6 first), doesn't seem to have any issues with it. No crash reports have been submitted, presumably because I had to ctrl+alt+del and end process tree in order to get rid of the crashed instance of firefox (the normal methods did not work).
For reference, I was downloading this:

with quality set to 1080p, and using 'Flashgot media' which sends to downthemall turbo. The DTA turbo would open, and download around 50KB of the file, then both DTA and firefox would stop responding, and i would have to task manager the program to close it. I tried the process 2 or 3 times, each with the same result, and also updated DTA and tried again to no avail.

Then it's very likely a DTA issue, rather than a FlashGot one, because FlashGot ends its task as soon as the link is passed to the download manager backend.

Fair enough, I suspected as much, but didn't have any issues with normal DTA downloads at the time.
