This is probably a duplicate of bug 35956 It seems that when Mozilla saves a .gz file it automatically decompresses it, so what you have is not a corrupted .gz file, you have an uncompressed .tar file that is still just NAMED .gz

yes, dup. This worked for a while, in between battles, but regressed again some weeks ago. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 35956 ***
