I've been searching for a solution for this for months. Frankly, I'm sick of Mozilla ignoring this problem, which has persisted from version 4 through 6. Makes me ill.

The content is actually downloading, but Firefox hides the content until the entire file is downloaded. It used to display and allow you to play the partially downloaded content. Safari does this with ease. If someone can point out the parameter in about:config that controls this, I'd be grateful.
