So, I have been having some problems with Firefox lately.

Whenever I try to download anything, be it an image, video, installer, or any other file, Firefox takes a good 10 seconds to spawn and initiate the download.

It is strictly specific to Firefox...downloads start instantly in IE and Safari.
It is also specific to my computer...When I use other computers Firefox starts downloads instantly just like the other browsers.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, or know what could be causing it?

For some odd reason, something is delaying the thread that handles downloads from executing....
