User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 When saving a gzipped tarball by right-clicking and selecting "Save to Disk" the browser will unzip the tarball, but does not change the extention from .tar.gz to .tar - at first, i thought the file was corrupt, but running the command "file" revealed that *.tar.gz files saved by right-clicking were tar archives, not gzips. manually changing the file name made it possibe to open the file. However, left-clicking on the same file will save it as-is - still gzipped. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right-click on a link to a *.tar.gz file 2. Select "Save to Disk" 3. Running gzip, or any gui file archive program, will report the file is not a valid gzip. 4. Change file name from *.tar.gz to *.tar and open file (for example, in gnome's file-roller) Actual Results: The file will open. Expected Results: It should not unzip the file. Or if it does, it should change the extension.

Not a duplicate of bug 233047. That bug does not deal with right-clicking on links. Probably a duplicate of bug 235859, though.
