Hello,
Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
- On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the option key while starting Firefox.
- On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
- Or open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
Thank you.

thankyou very much , it seems that i cant pause only the videos i download using video download helper :/
There was never any good reason for Mozilla to remove the pause button - it's not as if the screen is cluttered, with a big long progress bar and one or two tiny buttons at the end.
With a button it's one click, with the context menu it's two - and if your CPU usage is overflowing and you want to relieve the pressure by pausing a download or two, waiting for a context menu to open causes problems.
This problem came about because Mozilla are sadly following Microsoft's deplorable trend of trimming away useful functionality for no reason at all.
Bring the pause button back

Yes, me too. When I disabled DownloadHelper (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-downloadhelper/), the pause function reappeared. I like DownloadHelper a lot, so I hope they can fix this soon. R
hmm i am in the same boat
