133670 - Mozilla doesn't recognize filenames ending in a dot (hotmail temp files)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 149586

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[James McDonald]

When you click on the "You have (x) new emails" link inside KMerlin v0.3.3 on
RedHat 7.2 it passes the www.hotmail.com URL to kfmexec which then copies a
temporary file from www.hotmail.com to the hard disk located at
(/home/<user_name>/.kde/apps/share/apps/kfmexec/tmp/xxxx.0.) and opens the
default browser to display the hotmail login page.
If Mozilla is configured to handle all htm/html files by editing the file
associatians kfmexec passes the filename to Mozilla to load but Mozilla returns
"The file /home/<user_name>/.kde/share/apps/kfmexec/tmp/xxxx.0. cannot be found"
due to it not recognizing a filename ending in a dot.

Confirming on linux 2002032608. Easier steps to reproduce: "touch test." on
console and try to open it.
