When I download add-ons on a slower machine, I can see a lazy initialization of the download progress bar. The progress starts but gets reset to zero within the next second. Further the width of the whole notification is changing a couple of times. See the screencast: http://screencast.com/t/vT5I2kkR

Steps:
1. Install any add-on, i.e. Cooliris
2. Watch the doorhanger notification

Do you see this on all platforms? I don't see it on OSX and your screencast is Linux.

Looks like that on Linux the notification is not wide enough and the download progress info below the bar is the reason why the width gets updated.
