I just right-clicked and chose to download an image. Firefox hung completely while scanning for viruses, before instantly downloading the very small image.

So it took longer than usual to finish a virus scan, this one time? Anyways, you can always disable the auto-scan. e: Very bad question, somehow I didn't read the 'hung completely' part properly. :sigh:
It could have taken all day with the virus scan, as long is it even gave me my other tabs back. My beef is that it locked up as tight as Outlook doing a download. X|

Well, I don't use Chrome that much (only at work, sometimes) but I think that this sort of thing is where it has an advantage. If I've understood it correctly so far, only the process assigned for the domain where the picture is hosted would've stopped responding, leaving you the possibility to open any other site until the problematic one 'un-hungs'. But I don't even know if the native download manager works/is linked like that so I may be completely wroo...onG? I cannot speak for all browsers, as I mostly use Firefox these past couple of years and I have no valid insight on how much the other have been improved, but I guess at times that all of them know how to fail like that.

afaik IE8 will have a process per tab, although the intent is primarily to mix security levels in the same app. I've not played with the beta so I don't know how well it will work.

Speaking of FireFail, who here remembers Firefalls?[^] It was always a highlight of my early Yosemite trips. I guess the forest was tougher back then as they never managed to burn the place down.
