Now, it seems that if I close the same tab or a blank one it creates before or after that dialog appears, when I finally choose what to do, it just closes without starting the download. I should also mention that I set the browser to "Always ask me where to save the files" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=5787&t=0&i=1 (Firefox Installer) for example 2. Wait for that dialog to appear 3. Close the tab from where the download started and then click the "Save File" button Actual Results: Nothing happens, the download dialog just closes without asking where to save the file Expected Results: The file download should continue

Works for me with new, clean profiles.

Yes, it occurs in all cases

Ok. Now on a clean profile it works. Maybe it has something to do with some about:config settings. Anyone know which?

Man, it would be nice to be able to edit personal comments. Actually no, it didn't actually work as I wanted it to. I forgot that the default profile always downloads to the "Download" folder automatically. After I set it to "Always ask me... " the problem persisted. So, download dialog shows up asking what to do> before clicking save file and OK close the tab which started the download> click ok (and the dialog asking where to save to file will not appear)
