(Firefox :: General, defect)

I've only done this with Flash movies so far, but it happens every time. Try to
save a Flash movie through the Media Tab in Page Info, and the download shows up
in the Download Manager, but only says "Starting..." and stays there. If I enter
the actual URL into the location bar, I can actually view the movie fine and do
a File, Save Page As... to save it.

One place to go to for tons of flash movies is http://www.newgrounds.com. So far
this has worked every time, not just on this address.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any site that allows you to view a Flash movie (for example,
http://www.newgrounds.com)
2. View Page Info, and go to the Media Tab.
3. Select the Flash file, hit Save As...

Actual Results:  
...and watch as the download in the Download Manager says "Starting..." and
doesn't go any further than that.

Expected Results:  
Saved the file successfully. This has worked perfectly with previous versions of
Firefox (dating as far back as whenever Page Info was working correctly... =) )

I'm using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040424

This was installed with your Mozilla Firefox installer that was available on
your server.
