Window.applicationCache.status is always 0 in firefox

Question

I have a website with a manifest that checks (http://manifest-validator.com/), and the files are explicitly downloaded, because the progress event is fired for each file, but window.applicationCache.status is always 0 (which means that there is no cache manifest on the website). This is in Firefox 11.

This is the first download. When I refresh the page after the manifest is loaded, the application status, if it is checked first, and is idle - which is correct.

Any ideas?

I see similar results - Firefox still has serious problems with the state and events in the application.

I filed error 825618 in order to hope to get this a little more attention again, although I see a few other similar errors that should have flagged the problem a long time ago, but still mostly unresolved.
