From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 BuildID: 2002053012 When downloading a file to local disc via the "http" protocol, if the remote file name ends ".tar.gz" then the local copy ends in ".tar.gz.tar". The actual behaviour seems to depend on the content type HTTP header - see under "Actual results" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find download link 2. Select link 3. Select save to local disc (extra .tar already appended at this stage) Actual Results: Have also tried http://www.webdav.org/mod_dav/mod_dav-1.0.3-1.3.6.tar.gz which showed the same problem however http://www.mirror.ac.uk/site/dist/perl/mod_perl-1.99_03.tar.gz did not. The difference seems to be that the webdav site reported the type as "application/x-tar" whereas the UK mirror site reported the type as "application/x-gzip". Expected Results: It should not have attempted to change the file name irrespective of the content type Did a brief check with IE6 - which behaved as I expected - I.e. didn't change the file name.
