When Download Manager is set to 'remove when download completes' and Close
window when download completes, a blank window pops up periodically.  I believe
this is triggered by an algorithm that doesn't realize that the large files
being saved, ... aren't.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  From a page with large image thumbnails, right-click and open-in-new-tab
several images
2.  Depending on the size of the images, a blank window will popup for the
download manager, which you then need to close.
3.

Actual Results:  
A blank window will popup for the download manager, which you then need to close. 

If the download manager is not set to 'remove files when download completes',
then the files are in the window and you can select and delete them.

Expected Results:  
The window should either popup and close itself, or not popup at all.

I believe this to be a dupe of bug 243324.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
