192848 - No download progress bar for mpg file

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 191000

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Phil Barker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

When downloading files of any significant size, that would normally generate a
download progress bar (usually a Meg or more), no progress bar or any other
indication appear.  For me, this would typically be video files being downloaded
to the browser in a text format, which then gets saved as an mpg file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select file.
2.New screen with "text" data appears.
3.Download begins but with no apparent status.

Actual Results:  
If I tell the browser to save the file, it will eventually generate the standard
"Save" dialog box as usual.  Saving occurs normally.

Expected Results:  
A status bar should have appeared in the lower right bottom portion of the
browser window bar.

Please provide an URL as an example. Does it occur with:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/brownbag/volume1.rm ?

Phil, please provide an example URL. (The URL in comment 1 doesn't load in the
browser window as Phil describes in comment 0.)

No progress bar, just a dialouge box asking me if I want to save the file to disk, open it 
with Stuffit or Open it with a different application.

Download preferences are set to "Don't open anything."

Your original description of a video file loading in a browser window as
gibberish text is a subcase of bug 191000.

If you can find a properly-typed download which displays a progress bar in some
other browser (Safari) but not in Mozilla/Firefox, please post the URL for analysis.
