When trying to find location of a big file in the FF disk cache (e.g. 10 Bm mp3-file), the "Cache entry information" page freezes browser completely. Guess it happens because FF shows all the binary content of the requested file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to any huge file to save it into cache
2.Go to about:cache?device=disk
3.Search for the name of this huge file
4.Go to the "Cache entry information" page of this file
Actual Results:  
Browser will freeze

Expected Results:  
Do not show binary content until it is specially requested by the user.

This problem can cause loss of user data due to browser hung making it impossible to save sensitive information.
