This issue might not help everybody, but if you are having problems with downloading files in Gmail because you get a blank screen, this page should help you out. The problem is because of an older version of the Tab Mix Plus extension, which you probably chose to "Make Compatible" for Firefox 3.

This is the screen you usually get when trying to download a file:
