All tar,bz2 and tar.gz files do not fully download, and Error Console shows the following 2 errors when trying to save to disc:

Source File: file:///home/hhh/firefox/components/nsHelperAppDlg.js
Line: 219

Error: uncaught exception: unknown (can't convert to string)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download any tar file.
2.Right click the file to bring up it's context menu.
3.The file cannot be extracted.



Not affecting Windows, confirmed on Linux only. I'm seeing this as having regressed on 20071002, between builds 0759 and 0815.
Version: unspecified → Trunk
There are multiple DM checkins in that range, but from the source:nsHelperAppDlg.js  this should be due to bug 396477, so confirming and adding regression details. Also setting the blocking-fx3? flag. It looks like nsIMimeInfo.PrimaryExtension chokes on the headers used for bz2'ed tarballs on that site, will check the headers later.
