User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060126 SUSE/1.5.0.1-5.1 Firefox/1.5.0.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060126 SUSE/1.5.0.1-5.1 Firefox/1.5.0.1 When I download a file, the download manager duplicates the file extension. For example, if I download a file named "bla.rar", the file will be called "bla.rar.rar". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download a file. Actual Results: The file is double-extensioned. Expected Results: The download manager shouldn't add any extension. I'm running SuSE 10.0 and KDE 3.5.1.
Can you reproduce this when running Firefox in safe mode? ("firefox -safe-mode" from a console.)
(In reply to comment #1) > Can you reproduce this when running Firefox in safe mode? > ("firefox -safe-mode" from a console.) > Yes, it still happens. Another thing I can add is that the download manager probably tries to sort the files into types it is familiar with. For example, when I download "bla.msi", I get "bla.msi.bin". I've just tried it in the safe mode configuration.
Does this happen with all files you download, just ones from a certain website, or something else?
(In reply to comment #3) > Does this happen with all files you download, just ones from a certain website, > or something else? > This bug happens every time I download a file, no matter where I download it from. One thing I can add: if I right-click on the link and choose "Save link as", I get the file without another extension.
Are you downloading to a partition shared between Linux and Windows? I think this might be a dupe of bug #270159.

It's a dupe then. ;-) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 270159 ***
