This is identical to bug 240832, except for Firefox rather than SeaMonkey. That bug was closed as "worksforme" even though it still exists in FF, so I was advised to open a new bug. This is it.

The bug is this: when a download manager is set to show its window when downloading/saving a file, and to close the window on completion or cancellation, the window fails to close if the file is in the browser's cache.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure the download manager to show its window when a download begins, and to close it when the download completes.
2. Open a file from any url. Images are a typical real-world case: find a page with an image in it, right-click the image and select "View Image." (This puts the file into the browser's cache.)
3. Save the file.


Actual Results:  
Download manager appears as expected, but fails to disappear unless closed by user intervention.

Expected Results:  
Download manager window should have closed. (IMO it shouldn't have appeared in the first place since we're saving a file from cache and not actually downloading it again, but that's a different issue.)

As noted by me in comments to the old bug, this has been present in Firefox since 0.9.x, and I've seen it in installations on Win98 and Win2k including on fresh, clean installs of both.

This has already been fixed for Firefox 1.5.
