For this bug, it looks like the DownloadNotifications.jsm can handle the download cookie [1] (which is still alive in the notification even if Gecko is killed), but the handler [2] must not have been registered at the time.

There was some discussion in bug 1229835#c13 about whether the notification should persist across Gecko restart, but if we decide to do this, we should not make DownloadNotifications lazy loaded [3].
