From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 BuildID: 2002031104 If a file is uploaded through a form to a web site, the browser will no release the file once it has been sent via the form. As a result, you are unable to move the file to another directory or delete it until you close the web browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a site form that takes a file upload. 2. Attach and submit the file with the form. 3. When the form is finished and a success message or notification appears. 4. Try to move the submitted file to another directory or delete it. You will get these error codes from windows: Error Moving File Cannot move photoname.jpg: Access is denied. make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. Error Deleting File Cannot delete photoname.jpg: Access is denied. make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. NOTE: The file actions are being done on my hard drive. Actual Results: Same Expected Results: Mozilla should have released the file once it completed the task of uploading it. This way, the operating system would show the error messages that I have listed above.
please test with a newer build (goto ftp://ftp.mozilla.org). I know is a dup and jkeiser either fixed it already or has a fix for it.
