Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
When Firefox is sending a POST request (such as when you send a form), the text "Sending request to <domainname>" appears in the status bar on the bottom-left part of the window. However, the progress bar on the right is shown completely empty and is not updated until the process is complete.
This is very annoying when for example you send big files through a form.
Firefox knows exactly the size of the request it is sending, and can perfectly know how many bytes it has sent, so there's no reason why the progress shouldn't be shown just as it is shown for other operations.
