+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1152743 +++ STR 1) Save two attachments with similar names, but different capitalization, e.g. Application1.pdf and application2.pdf 2) Open Saved Files tab (about:downloads) 3a) Search for "application" (lowercase), using "Search" field of saved files tab 3b) Search for "Application" (initial caps) Actual Result 3a) "application" finds application2.pdf, but not Application1.pdf 3b) "Application" finds Application1.pdf, but not application2.pdf Iow, search is context-sensitive, which doesn't make sense. This violates several ux-principles (see below) Expected Result Case-insensitive search ux-consistency: other quick searches in TB ignore case ux-error-prevention: avoid false negatives when user expects case-less search ux-efficiency: case-less searches are more convenient
