User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 SeaMonkey/2.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091017 SeaMonkey/2.0 download via "right-click | save link target (ctrl-R)" does not honor the "Preferences | Downloads" setting of "save file to" location; instead it always presents the save-file dialog and requires the user to (at least) hit the ENTER key. Note that the right-click menu does say "save link target" rather than "save link target as...", so that part at least did check the prefs. Ideally the user should be able to do either "save" or "save as.." regardless of preference, by either ALWAYS presenting both right-click menu choices, or by testing for a modifier key and presenting the appropriate choice; it's a pain to have to change the preference for just one save (usually I want to just save using the default filename (with automatic rename if that name already exists), but sometimes I do want to save it under a specific filename)). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set pref to "save to location" 2. right click a link; menu says "save link target" as it should (no "as...") 3. but it still presents the file-save dialog. this worked as (I) expected up through seamonkey 1.1.18; w/ version 2.0 it's acting differently.
Confirming on 2.0.1pre. "Regression" set as wanted.
