Hello,

When I go to a page that has a .mov (movie) file, I can watch the movie, but
when I try to save the page and thus the movie file to my computer, Firefox has
to re-download the movie file. It is already in cache isn't it? That's why I'm
able to view it. So why does it have to re-download? I do this a lot and it is
very time consuming.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to a site like kongisking.net and download watch an .mov file.
2. Save as... the page.
3. The download manager now opens and the movie has to download again even
though it has downloaded already.



Expected Results:  
Since the file is already in cache, it should write the file to the hard drive
directly from memory or whereever the movie is stored.
