I received an eMail [in Thunderbird] that contained an embedded image, associated with an image on ...LiveFileStore.Com.   Clicking on this image initiated a download which was picked up by Fox.

Fox opened an untitled tab [as the file type has/had not been defined to Fox and/or TabPlus Addon, to avoid that untitled tab.

A download dialog box opened, which I assent to.   The Fox Downloads Dialog box opened and disclosed to me that the file was 5-6MByte, too large for the timid wireless network at the time of day I executed the download.   So ....

I canceled the download, and I closed the tab.

About 5 minutes later, despite that I had canceled the d/l, a MSWin7 Windows Photo Viewer popped up with the image -- leading me to believe that somewhere between TBird and Fox, and MSWin7, there is confusion when I cancel an image that is part of a email.

In case it matters, the image was a JPEG; I did not hit the "play slide" that was part of the email.



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
[I am now on a fast network, and the wireless is no longer delayed...  The images pop up now before I can cancel...]


Expected Results:  
A cancel of a download in Fox, initiated by TBird, of a LiveFileStore.Com image embedded in an email, should cancel...
