[Bug 225782] [NEW] Images dragged and dropped from Firefox are re-downloaded

[demetris]

Public bug reported:

When I drag and drop an image from Firefox to the desktop (or to a
folder in Nautilus), the image is redownloaded.  It is not noticeable
with small images.  However, the bigger the image, the more noticeable
it becomes.  It happens with both versions of Ubuntu desktop, 32bit and
64bit.

To replicate this behaviour:

1. Open in Fx an image that is large for your internet connection.
2. Once the image has loaded, drag and drop it in a folder in Nautilus.

(As a reference, in Firefox 3 on Windows XP images seem to be read from
the cache, and drag-and-drop is as quick as copy/paste.)
