I upload a file to my webserver, go see it by http, and save it back, the layout
is lost.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the url http://www.tzone.org/~gcote/gcote_cv.html
2. Save the file on your local disk 
3. Open the file you just save in your browser

Actual Results:  A file with no formatting

Expected Results:  Save as should give me the same file byte to byte, as the one
I upload on the server

I'll attach the two file to the bug after it's created.

Which file type did you select to save as in the filepicker?  It looks like you
chose text/plain....

Comment 4

[Guillaume Coté]

I didn't care and choose the default.  After looking back, the dialog open with
Text File selected by default.  If I choose back the web page only, it save the
file correctly.

Is it normal that html file are save as txt by default?

Is it normal the name of the file on the disk is .html, should it be .txt?

The default is whatever you chose the last time you used the dialog.  So if you
saved a page as text at some point it would stay that way until you undid it....

The fact that the extension is wrong is bug 120313, of which I'm marking this a
duplicate.
