Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.0

In Fedora Core 3 running kernel 2.6.9-1.667, Firefox 1.0, and Thunderbird 1.0,
when I click on the link for a Thunderbird theme, it tries to install it as a
theme in Firefox.  When I right-click and choose Save Link As, it names it
install.php.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox.
2. Go to the Thunderbird Themes section of the Mozilla Update website.
3. Go to the page for any theme.
4. Right-click the download link and choose Save Link As.

Actual Results:  
The file was called install.php.

Expected Results:  
It should have been something.jar.
Workaround: copy the link URL and delete
"https://addons.update.mozilla.org/core/install.php?passthrough=yes&uri=".  Then
it will download properly.
Severity: normal → minor
Version: unspecified → 1.0
