I tried this: But I can't change the download directory by setting it
in the preferences, in the prefs.js file or using
about:config. Firefox continues to save in the last directory I used,
whatever the settings. Very strange that.
I can change it by just choosing some other place in the the "save as"
dialog, but I cannot get rid of that dialog (in theory for instance
setting "Saves files to Desktop" should get away with that dialog, but
it doesn't).
When I change the directory things indeed get fast enough: But this is
still a problem, as I prefer to have everything in the same directory.
I also wonder, why this suddenly becomes a problem: The Debian sarge
Firefox didn't have that problem.

I checked those libraries. They seem to be all installed ok and there
are no stale libraries laying around, as far as I can see (using
ldconfig).
Thanks a lot!
