Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: General, defect)

Attachment: Step by step images

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/37.0.2062.103 Safari/537.36
Firefox for Android

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch FF
2. Goto any link which has download option such as 'http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/v6.7.4.html'
3. Right click on 'Download' icon and click on 'Save Link As..." option
4. Goto TestDownload location and click on Save button in 'Enter the name of file to save to...' download window
5. File is saved as npp.6.7.4.Installer.exe in TestDownload location
6. Repeat step 2 and step 3
7. Do either :
    a. Now delete npp.6.7.4.Installer.exe present in TestDownload location that appears in the 'Enter the name of file to save to...' dialog window, or
    b. Goto TestDownload location outside and delete npp.6.7.4.Installer.exe
8. After file npp.6.7.4.Installer.exe is deleted successfully, hit on save button and save the file with the same name as 'npp.6.7.4.Installer.exe'
9. You will find a popup window that asks you to replace the existing file with the same name.


Actual results:

Once the file with the same name is deleted successfully, it shows the overwriting popup window.


Expected results:

Once the file with the same name is deleted successfully, it should allow saving the file immediately rather than giving the overwriting popup window.

I am sure this issue can be reproduced in the earlier or the latest versions of the FF.
P.S. - This issue can be easily seen in chrome and IE too.
Here is the issue link for chrome issue:

It's very likely that this is no Firefox/IE/Chrome bug but an underlying windows bug

Please see the same can be found in Mac OS X 10.9.5 & Linux Ubuntu 14.04 too.
