This bug is occurring in all previous versions of firefox, including the current 1.5.
My download directory is on a vfat partititon so I have access to it when I boot into Windows XP. When I select a file for download, e.g., kdvdbackup-0.6-1.pm.2.i586.rpm, download manager gets confused with the vfat filename and extension and produces a double extension.
So the file gets saved as kdvdbackup-0.6-1.pm.2.i586.rpm.rpm (not the .rpm.rpm at the end of the name). This is annoying because I always need to removed the excessive extension.
This does not happen when the destination is a directory on my Linux partition. So it seems to be specific to the vfat filename handling.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. You should have auto-download to disk enabled, or perform the steps below twice
1. Goto http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=595
2. Click on the link kdvdbackup-0.6-1.pm.2.i586.rpm
3. Download manager starts and downloads the file to kdvdbackup-0.6-1.pm.2.i586.rpm.rpm (note the double extension).
Expected Results:
Saved the file to kdvdbackup-0.6-1.pm.2.i586.rpm (".rpm" occurs only ONCE, not twice as in .rpm.rpm).
