How do i disable the download button timer when trying to download files. It takes 5 seconds before the button becomes available and not grayed out and I dont need it to be that long.
I Know its a setting to help prevent malicious software from downloading But I don't need it. Please tell me how to disable it.

The window content of that dialog should appear immediately, but there is a counter to set a two second timeout before enabling the OK button (security.dialog_enable_delay).
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Yes, there is a way to solve this.
Type about:config in your tab and search for
---> browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone
In default that is set as true in boolean, you should set it to false.
Now save the settings and restart firefox.

OK I tried it and now the entire dialog box remains empty and unrendered with just the file name in the top for the 5 seconds; but when the box finally finishes rendering the button is available. still needs fixed.

THANK FIREFOX FOR COR-EL!!! I undid Abyssal's advice and everything went back to the 5 sec delay and then Changed security.dialog_enable_delay from 2000 to 0 and it pops right up! I will Mark his post as helpfull and then do a moz backup so i never need to see this again.
