This works correctly in Internet Explorer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to url http://www.brycewilson.net/downloads/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=231 2. Mouse over Download icon. 3. Rightclick on image and click "Save Image to disk". 4. Application tries to save "pafiledb" to disk, instead of actual file. Actual Results: Application tries to save "pafiledb" to disk, instead of actual file. Expected Results: Mozilla Firebird 0.7 should have saved the actual file to disk.
The problem here is the server redirects to another file. The file name in the dialog is "pafiledb", but when downloading it follows the 302 HTTP redirect
Summary: When trying to download file using link, "Save link to disk" does not work correctly. → When trying to download file, the file name in the save dialog doesn't follow a http redirect
dupe of bug 225069 ?
Component: Browser-General → Download Manager
No. And in fact dup of a wontfix bug. Especially once we fully move to posing that filepicker before we even start to fetch the resource (for the "save link/image as") case.
