I submitted this bug a long time ago and the reply was that this bug had been
resolved. BUT with proxy server turned all the bug remains! So I can't download
anything via mouse right click -> "Save link to disk". I got the answer "The
link cound not be saved. The web page might have been removed or had its name
changed".

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set manual connection settings and _fulfil_ a _working_ proxy server there
1. Open any location in the Inet
2. On any URL/link click with the right mouse button and choose "Save link to
disk ..."
3. Get the error message "The link cound not be saved. The web page might have
been removed or had its name changed"

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Start downloading

It happens in _all_ Mozilla => 1.6/Firefox => 0.7 versions
Since you also reported bug 237987 it sounds to me like you have a problem with
your installation. Try creating a new profile and if that doesn't do it, try
installing Mozilla in a clean directory.
I created a new profile from the scratch (purging the profile dir) both in the
Mozilla 1.7b, Firefox 0.8 and Firefox nightly. The issue _remains_. The browsers
report the same error message!

I completely reinstalled Mozilla and Firefox, deleted all profile directories
and the problem remains :(
My proxy server is squid/2.5.STABLE1
This looks like bug 160448 but that deals with web servers and this bug deals
with proxy servers instead.
