I just tested it now with an AVI file, and it just ignored the avi.part file with data and re-started from the beginning, overwriting the .avi (which is empty). This time firefox didn't lose the previous data, so the user can rename the .avi.part to an .avi and then "wget -c" the previous download, but that's not the expected behaviour, I think.
I've tried it on two sites that require HTTP authentication, and it never really resumes the previous file. When firefox crashes, I restart it and restore the session, the download manager starts to re-download the file. IMHO Firefox should either try to continue the download (saving the cookie from the download page that uses the HTTP authentication) or tell the user to login again on the page, click on the same file and then resume the download.
