153521 - Canceling a file save fubars a .cgi page until Mozilla is relaunched

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Steve Dagley]

Not sure I actually have the right component here so feel free to reassign if
you have a better idea.

The bugzilla # in the test URL isn't significant, just selected at random.  The
problem is occuring on Mac OS X with Mozilla 1.0.  I don't have access to any
other platforms to test on at the moment so logging as a Mac specific bug.

When viewing a bugzilla bug, if I select File->Save Page As... and then cancel
in the file save dialog I can't try and save the file again.  After the cancel I
get the error message "The link could not be saved.  The web page might have
been removed or had its name changed." when I select File->Save Page As...  Nor
can I reload the page or paste the link into the location field of a new browser
window.  With the test URL listed it results in the error "The file
/show_bug.cgi?id=150000 cannot be found. Please check the location and try
again."  The page is accessible if you quit and re-launch Mozilla.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

the error dlg you get sounds similar to the one in bug 150438... however in
150438, it occurred when trying to save via the context menu item, "save target
link as", and seemed to occur at some sites (not all --but mozilla.org is one of
'em).

could this be related?

Marking this as Resolved > Worksforme since it's no longer occuring on either of the latest versions of Firefox Nightly 95.0a1 (2021-10-08), beta 94.0b3 or release 93.0.
If anyone is still able to reproduce it please re-open the issue or file a new one.
