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.)

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?

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.
