Wont download with error "FreshDownload could not take over download!"

Had Fresh Devices 'FreshDownload' installed. Uninstalled it and the next time I tried to download a file with Firefox I got the message "[new]ERR[1] : FreshDownload could not take over the dowmload! Click 'Back' button to return to normal mode". (i.e. not downloading). I then purged the register of any reference to 'FreshDownload', rebooted but this did not solve the problem. I have found that when the error message is showing if I 'File=>Save page as...' it saves the download and not the web page. How do I get rid of this "feature" and back to normal operation. Also, I have also upgraded to Firefox 5 but this made no difference. Using Windows XP SP3 plus updates.
