From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.5+)
Gecko/20011026
BuildID:    2001102605

Mac PB G3/400 (Firewire) 1 gig ram. OSX.1 w/security update.

I have I have not been able to download from VersionTracker since updating to
2001102605.  The dialog box to open/unstuff or save to disk will pop-up but,
after selecting save the next pop-up (requesting directory and file name) does
not appear.

Files download via IE 5.02. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to VersionTracker
2.find a file to download
3.begin download
4.select save to disk
5.write a bug report

Actual Results:  there will not be a download, complete inactivity

Expected Results:  pop-up dialog box should return asking for save directory and
file name

Downloading is the weak spot for Moz.  The lack of a download history and
resumable downloads keep me reaching for IE.

attempted to download from several sites (i.e.
"http://www.omnigroup.com/ftp/pub/software/MacOSX/10.0/OmniWeb-4.0.5.dmg.gz").
First pop-up window (auto expand/save to) responds as expected but pop-up
requesting file name and destination does not occur.  Download does not begin.

Mac Powerbook G3/400 "Pismo" w/1g RAM running OS X.1 and Mozilla build
2001103005, all Apple updates to OS have been applied.  Freshly formated and
reloaded from install disks (Nov 10, 2001).

This works for me on Moz 0.9.6 (2001112020) MacOS X 10.0.4. Looking at 107173 it
probably was a dup of that bug. I've checked the URLs suggested by both bugs and
they both work fine. Resolving as WFM.
