Unable to reproduce this, linux trunk build 2002-04-30-10.

Tom Jac, could you please look in Preferences > Navigator > Helper
Applications?  Do you have "application/octet-stream" listed in that section by
any chance?

Comment 2

[Tom Jac]

No, there is nothing like this. The section is empty (just text/html).

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

OK... could you possibly email me the following files?

~/.mime.types
~/.mailcap
/etc/mime.types
/etc/mailcap

from your system?

You _are_ still seeing the problem, right?  :)

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Tom, thanks for the files.  Nothing out of the ordinary there.... (.exe mapped
to application/octet-stream and application/x-msdos-program, neither of which
has a handler set up...).  And I still cannot reproduce this.... :(

I have a similar problem, but I don't know if it's directly related to this bug.
 When I am at download.com, the files won't download.  An example link is here:
http://download.com.com/3000-2139-10103737.html

Steps to reproduce:
1) Visit that URL.
2) Click on the Download Now text link.
3) Notice that the page seems to refresh (and ads are reacquired), but that no
   download starts.

This works in Internet Explorer, and I've used download.com in previous versions
of Mozilla.  I just upgraded from RC1 to RC2 to see if it had been fixed, but
it's broken in at least both of those.  This may be a change on download.com's
servers, however, and not some form of regression.

WFM with trunk 2002073022, linux. reporter (Tom Jac): can you reproduce this bug
with a recent build of mozilla (for example, 1.1beta)? if so, please comment
again with details. if not, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. thanks.
