EFS - Files downloaded with Firefox are not encrypted

I noticed that files I downloaded with Firefox to My Documents (which is
encrypted with EFS) are not encrypted (they're black in Explorer, and the
Advanced dialog box shows they're not encrypted). If I download the same file
with IE to My documents, it does show as encrypted.

Why the difference? I thought anything that was put in My Documents would be
encrypted.

Thanks,
Ravi

You should report this to Mozilla as a Firefox bug.
