(Whiteboard: [nsbeta3+] fix in hand)

Download a large file that uses the helper app dialog. Click on Save to disk. We make you wait until we are done downloading the file to a temp file before letting the user choose the final file destination with a native file picker dialog. This is confusing to the user 'cause they wonder where the file is getting downloaded too. It should seemlessly go from the helper app dialog directly to the file save picker without waiting for the document to be completely downloaded.
I have a fix for this.

Fix checked in. To test, click on a large document (like a nightly download from mozilla.org). When you see the helper app dialog, click on save to disk then OK. Before this fix you would have had to wait until we downloaded the entire document before you saw the file picker. Now you should see it after you dimisss the helper app dialog.
