User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 FireFox seems to set the permissions on newly downloaded files in a way that prevents them from being shared over a network. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create the directory c:\tempshare and share it on the network (in windows, right-click on the directory > sharing and security > enable "share this file on the network"). 2. Tell the download manager to save all files to c:\tempshare (Tools > options > downloads > save all files to this folder > c:\tempshare) 3. Download the latest firefox build (or any other file) 4. Go to a different computer on the network, open the shared folder, and double-click on the newly downloaded file. Actual Results: A dialog opens saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have appropriate permissions to access the item." Expected Results: Open the file My lan uses NetBEUI (not TCP/IP) for its network shares. Easy workaround: copy the file, delete the original, then rename the copy to the name of the original.
