The "Saving File" window has a checkbox that says "Keep this window open after the download is complete". Presumably, this was meant as a helpful reminder so you don't forget about something you left downloading. However, this feature becomes a pain because the check-box is persistent; checking it once affects all future dialogs (until you un-check it). Still no problem until you realize it affects file downloads that are to be run by helper-apps. So even though I like the "keep-open" feature, I don't use it because it's too much of a pain in the ass dismissing the windows that get left open for every MP3 file I play from Mozilla. This is with 0.9.4. Not sure if this is a bug or enhancement, but possible solutions include: 1. Make the check-box default to off, and make it non-persistent. Every time a user wants the window to hang around as a reminder, they have to check the box during the download. 2. (preferred) Bypass the "keep-open" setting when the download is going to launch a helper app.

I can confirm that this happens with 2001092803 on Windows 98. I encounter this bug quite often, because I use Mozilla to watch porn videos and also to download new nightlies. I think this should be in the "XP Apps: GUI Features" component, since several other bugs involving this dialog and the "keep this window" checkbox are in that component. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start downloading a new nightly build. 2. Check "keep this window open after the download is complete". 3. Wait for the download to finish. (This might not be necessary). 4. Go to http://www.adult-sex-porn-site.com/oral-sex-videos/oral-sex-videos. 5. Click on of the "Movie" links in the middle of the page. 6. Choose "open using realplayer" (this should be the default). Actual result: end up with a useless download window and a real player window Expected result: download window should go away when download finishes, leaving only a real player window The funny thing is, I've gotten into the habit of anticipating and getting ready to kill these download windows the same way I used to with pop-up windows. These windows are most certainly not as annoying as pop-up advertisements, of course (Mozilla is tolerable as a porn browser now that the pop-up killing pref exists).

spam: over to File Handling. i have not changed the assigned developer [or the other fields for that matter], so if anyone realizes that a bug should have a more appropriate owner, go ahead and change it. :)

I think the right thing to do is have the checkbox unchecked whenever downloading a file to open with a helper app. I don't see any harm in leaving the checkbox there in such cases, in case the user wants to leave the dialog open (to save the file, as a reminder, whatever). This will be easy to fix at the same time as the bug about changing the dialog title and save-to location info in the case where we're opening with a helper app.

Spam: Setting target milestone for all these to Future. Please note that most, if not all, will be fixed in the course of the work I'm doing for bug 27609. That fact is noted in the "depends on" field for each of these bugs (I think; go ahead and remedy that if you like). I just don't have time to deal with the wrath that comes with having too many bugs.
