1459064 - Incorrect suggested "Save Page As" file name for XSLT files

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect, P3)

Description

[Djfe]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0
Build ID: 20180503100146

Steps to reproduce:

I opened ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/doc/rfc/authors/rfc2629.xslt and used save page.
Once on the "page" (I did another bug report for that: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1459057 ) and once in view-source.


Actual results:

The file name for the page was:
"(xsl apply-templates select='front_title' mode='get-text-content' _).txt"
The file name on the view-source page was:
"ftp _ftp.fu-berlin.de_doc_rfc_authors_rfc2629.xslt.html"


Expected results:

Since it's ftp, the original file-name should be used.
Especially since it's not an html file with a title attribute, but a stylesheet.

Another example:
Doing the same for ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/doc/rfc/authors/rfc3659-diff.html results in Firefox trying to save it as .txt instead of .html :/ (and it doesn't use the original file name, but at least the existing title attribute of the page)

I just realized, that the file type drop down (save dialog on Windows) just remembers the last choice, so that part of this report might just work as desired, but there might be a better way to select file names in these cases, I think.

This works as expected.

This issue seems to be on the same subject as Bug 254139. However, since the bug 254139 seems to be closed I am wondering if there isn't value to the idea of having the "save as" default behind a preference, rather than the current default behavior: using the title attribute. 
Chris would you please take a look at this? 

Thank you!

We don't need a new preference for this, however the default choice for this XSLT file looks like a bug that can be fixed.

Thanks. I can reproduce this bug.
