Build ID: 20121129162756

Steps to reproduce:

0. Set
  browser.download.useDownloadDir = false
  browser.download.lastDir = /media/unmounted/partition
1. Unmount the partition.
2. Start downloading a big file (several GiBs) from a server that gives several MiBs per second.
3. Mount the partition in the file selection dialog and select a directory on it as destination.

Actual results:

Then Firefox freezes completely for some time. AFAIU it starts downloading somewhere ( /tmp ?) and then moves already downloaded part of the file to a new destination.

Expected results:

It should not freeze completely.
