Build 1999121508, Linux Redhat 6.1 Mozilla should fill the appropriate file name into the save-as dialog when clicking on a downloadable file (.zip, .tar.gz, etc) or when clicking "save link as." Right now I have to check the link for the proper filename and fill it in myself. netscape 4.X has this functionality.

This isn't an output issue (output is for translation to html or plaintext -- you can see component descriptions by clicking on Component in bugzilla). Sounds like a general browser issue (but it might be a problem with the file selection dialog not allowing this). Sending to Browser-general in the hope that someone knows who owns this.

There's lots of people complaining of this. It's a problem with nsIFileWidget on Mac and Linux. Marking as dup of #16043. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 16043 ***
