Perhaps Mozilla was loading the BMP file (BMP files tend to be quite
large), even though it couldn't display it? Try making a testcase with
<img src="a-very-large-text-file.txt"> in it, or <img src="msword.exe">,
or something like that, and see what happens.

arrow.gif is one of the graphics used in the scrollbar arrows. Mozilla
is probably loading it just fine, but the status text is probably not
being replaced by `Document: Done' because the graphic isn't being
loaded from the network. See `Don't show progress text/meter for
chrome:/resource: URLs ("Read: <filename>")'
