(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[DGM]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032619 Firefox/3.0b5

When I download a Flash video and then try to view information on it (and perhaps download it) in about:cache?device=disk, I find it in the list of cached files and click on the link. Then, the browser hangs for a while. After some time, it either shows a hex dump of the video file, or crashes (or even both). This also occurs in Windows XP.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.vbox7.com/ and open a video.
2. Open about:cache?device=disk and find the .flv file
3. Click on the file address link.
Actual Results:  
Browser hangs.

Expected Results:  
Browser should show information about the related file.
