Build ID: 20131112160018

Steps to reproduce:

I was downloading a large file.

When 99% of the file was already downloaded, Firefox crushed (reason not important).




Actual results:

The download stopped, and I have to start all over again.


Expected results:

The download manager should continue to work even if Firefox crushes (independent tool, or some other method).
