Steps to Reproduce: Print... Output options...Save to file...Save
Expected results: file name "Document Title.pdf" 
Actual Results: file name "BuildID}.pdf"

The document title should be used for the file name.  I can't think of a good
reason to ever include the Mozilla name or build ID in the file name.  If
there's no title, Untitled-n is appropriate.

Guessing as to the current behavior, it's passing the window title and the :
after Build ID is confusing the print dialog since : is a path separator under
Carbon.

Hmm, the initial report isn't quite right; the entire window title is there, but
MacOSX's save dialog does some weird text wrapping such that you can't tell the
whole thing is there unless you hit the up arrow.  Pretty weak.  Still, the
Mozilla name and build ID isn't useful here.

Well, the name seems to be "output" nowadays... At least on linux. Not a huge improvement.

This was fixed some time ago. (mozilla.pdf can still be used, but only as a very last resort.)
