I'm having problems downloading: the file cascades a bizzillion times on the screen and it appears to be a .part file.

I'm on a Mac - my hard drive crashed last week (got a new one) so I downloaded the Firefox again. When I download, I can view my downloads under the "Tools" menu, but in my download file in my dock, the files say pdf.part - and when I download, the file cascades a bizzillion times (really annoying) and I have to quit out of Firefox to move forward.

See [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]
You can have infinite tabs opening if you have selected Firefox as the application to handle a file if you get an Open with download window.<br />
Firefox should not be selected as the application to handle a file and you have to remove the action that is associated with that file type.
You can delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf mimeTypes.rdf] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to reset all actions or set that action in Tools > Options > Applications to 'Always Ask'.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions ("File handling in Firefox 3 and SeaMonkey 2" and "Reset Download Actions")
