When you drag the specified page bookmark to the Windows desktop to create an
Internet shortcut, the name of the file is ".URL" (no filename, just the suffix)
because the specified page has no title defined in HTML.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag the bookmark from the address bar to the Windows desktop.

Beginning of the page source is : 
<html><body bgcolor=


Proposed fix : set a default non empty filename.
Suggestions :
 - the filename part of the URL. This is what Microsoft IE does. (the
IE-generated shortcut is named "cansecwest-2001.URL")
 - a default name that should be localizable.

*** Bug 240110 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This bug has a complete fix at bug 103468 if only I could get someone to show
interest in reviewing it.
Someone want to verify that this is fixed now that 103468 is checked in?
Would someone please verify this fixed and then mark closed.
Verified fixed with Moz Suite 1.8 nightly, build ID 2004061507. Using testcases
from bug 103468 (supplied URL doesn't seem to be valid anymore). This fix isn't
in Firefox, but probably should be.

Testcases...
