(dupe checked for "already exists" before filing...) Does not happen in Mozilla 1.2.1/Mac OS X.

Opps, mozilla bug, here are the better steps: 1- Click on URL in link field (URL bar does not set this off for some reason 2- try to save file.

Wfm Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212 benc: On what Mozilla version did this bug happen (nightly form today or CVS build or another build :)?

Worksforme on current linux trunk as well. Ben, how about some clear expected and actual results?

Opps, an update was lost somehow... here's what should have been in comment #2... Affected: Mac OS X only, Chimera 0.6 -and- Mozilla 1.2.1. Does not happen in Win98, Mozilla 1.3a Steps: above. OBSERVED RESULTS: a salted filename is suggested in the save as dialog, which seems to already be a tempory file. When you hit save in the save dialog, it gives you the error because the file already exists. "Save" The file <salted> in <path> already exists, replace it? EXPECTED RESULTS: It should probably give some friendlier suggested filename, and it should not error when you hit save.

"friendlier suggested filename in weird cases" is covered by bug 125086

Isn't this issue related to the ":" which was/is the way MacOS sees directory separators ? Reporter Could you check with a recent nightly build of Mozilla, and update the issue accordingly ?

There is no ':' in the salted filename. The key problem here is that the "temp" dir and "default download dir" are both the desktop on MacOS. Now that I read the bug again, that's a _warning_, not an error. You can proceed with the save if you want.

I happen to be running OSX/PPC today. In FF 3.05 on Tiger, I get no warning or error message, just the "what do you want to do with this file?" dialog, leading to a file on my Desktop named "IayQ4tvx.rtf(2).part"

file save works properly.
