Build ID: 20150415140819

Steps to reproduce:

(Be sure to select the "Always ask me where to save files" option in the General tab of the Options dialog) 
1. Start a download. 
2. In the Save File window, type a character that is not allowed in file names into the "File name" text box (question mark, forward slash, backward slash, colon, asterisk, quotation mark, forward arrow, backward arrow; vertical bar).
3. Click the Save button.


Actual results:

The file did not save, and the files in the current directory of the Save File window were replaced with the message, "No items match your search."


Expected results:

The user should have been given a warning informing them that the file couldn't be saved because it contained an invalid character.
