I've noticed FF 6.0.2 windows update faster and downloads stay active when the mouse pointer is over a FF window and moving. I've "played" with the download window. When I allow the pointer to just sit, the download usually stops. When I move the pointer, the download resumes. This is verified by the lights on the cable modem showing changes in internet activity.

The same appears true in cases like the FF help search. Type a question and hit return and screen stalls. Move the mouse and the screen refreshes.
