User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1 I do not have 100% understanding of what's happening in this function, but from my work with it I think the logic is flawed on 2 lines. Looking at: 365 tr.init((aChosenData ? aChosenData.uri : source), 366 persistArgs.target, "", null, null, null, persist); 367 persist.progressListener = new DownloadListener(window, tr); 368 persist.saveURI((aChosenData ? aChosenData.uri : source), 369 null, aReferrer, persistArgs.postData, null, 370 persistArgs.target); Noting the segment: aChosenData ? aChosenData.uri : source I can't think of a scenario where aChosenData.uri would apply here. From what I understand aChosenData.uri (if it exists) contains the URI of the file to save TO. However, the argument here is suppose to be for the file to save FROM. Therefore the other option (source) makes sense. Basically it's saying: PATHTOSAVETO ? PATHTOSAVETO : PATHOFSOURCEFILE The first argument of saveURI is defined as: @param aURI URI to save to file. Some implementations of this interface may also support <CODE>nsnull</CODE> to imply the currently loaded URI. Which is the file source, not the target file, that's suppose to be the argument aFile. See: http://mxr.mozilla.org/firefox/source/embedding/components/webbrowserpersist/public/nsIWebBrowserPersist.idl#144 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Here is the url to the actual part of the function: http://mxr.mozilla.org/firefox/source/toolkit/content/contentAreaUtils.js#365
Summary: Possible that logic is wrong in internalSave function → internalSave function : incorrect logic: using target file path as source path

IMO there's no problem here. aChosenData.uri specifies where to get the download FROM; it is aChosenData.file (a nsILocalFile object) that specifies where to save it TO.

Yeah, looks to me like Christopher is right. Thanks for taking the time to file the bug anyways, even though it took a while before someone else took a look at it!

I agree that the code in "contentAreaUtils.js" is correct, however it is not as clear as it could! I'm already working on making this code more straightful in bug 471875. Do you think this bug can be closed, since bug 471875 covers that?
