I mention it is tipically, as the folder was on an external HDD, and with some clicks, the labels of the disks have changed. So, the proposition: If the download folder is not writable, why don't you download the files in the default folder (which in Vista is c:/Users/[username]) and notify the user about the problem? Why should the user look at the monitor and think that FF crashed? Reproducible: Always Actual Results: On click on the download link, the download pop-up does not shouw up and no message is displayed. Expected Results: At least a message to be displayed.
