Steps to reproduce:

Session Restore is enabled. (Not sure if this is necessary.).
Downloading a (large) file from Youtube.
Killing the Firefox process.
Open Firefox again.


Actual results:

The download started again from the beginning = the (nearly complete) file was overwritten.


Expected results:

The download should be continued.
(The server understands 206 Partial Content so that is not the problem.)
