Whenever i start to download anything from rapidshare, my firefox shuts down automatically and the download ends.
Does anybody know why this happens? Not facing this with IE, and Chrome. Why guys?

I can think of a couple of reasons:
1) If you haven't already tried downloading from somewhere else, try .It could just be RapidShare.
2) Microsoft's NET Framework 1.0 addon was recently removed from Firefox. Try reinstalling or use a different browser.
3) If you recently upgraded Firefox (which it does automatically) then you should uninstall and reinstall any addons that look they're not working properly.
Firefox really got messed up over the last month or so by Microsoft. I'm using Chrome at the moment, because all my addons crashed on Firefox. =(
Hope this helps -
Happy hacking.

Also, try starting Firefox in safe mode and access. See if it works, ideally a rapidshare download should not cause your browser to crash. If it does, it's most likely that it's due to an addon.

@Rajkumar:
Try the following
1. Log into the desktop via safe method (with networking), and run FF once. (Also create a Restore Point).
2. Try normal log in, and check FF.
3. If problem still persists, then uninstall and install the latest version without any add on.
4. Now check.
When uninstalling using something like RevoTuner, to clean up the registry too.
Else..you have some virus (remote chance though), then we can proceed further.
