I updated the latest version. Yesterday I tried to download Torrent file and open using the Open or save dialogue it is not downloading fully. It is showing UNKNOW TIME REMAINING and not fully downloading. Even if i close the firefox and open it again, still it is showing the same.I thought that is is problem in my system, But all the system has the same problem. each and every 3-4 days you are relesing a version. I dont know what is there in each version..Please fix the problem. These kind of problem will make the users shift to other browsers like Chrome.

hello saththomas, this is a bug in the latest 32 beta 9 version (please note that such issues are to be expected, when you're using beta software - for stable builds change to the firefox release channel).

a workaround for the moment would be to enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere on the page and create a new string setting with the name browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL and value https://sb-ssl.google.com/safebrowsing/clientreport/download?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%

for reference see bug #1057764 (please don't post in bug reports, but vote for the bug if you want to see it fixed)
