So OS 8.6 (branch and trunk) is completely useless because the saving dialog
doesn't let you save.

I get a similar result under Linux Mozilla/5.0 (build id: 2002052918)

When I have  a PDF file loaded under Acrobat ver 4.0 and I choose "Save Page as"
from the "File" menu, nothing happens.

I was able to save one file by letting it sit in the browser overnight, but this
is not a very practical solution. :-) (In this overnight case the dialog box
appeared as expected and I was able to save the file.)

In contrast, when I used Netscape 6.2.1 (for Linux) and chose "Save as", I get a
dialog box that lets me proceed with saving the file.

WorksForMe using Mac/2002072203/9.2.2. [e-mail], is this problem still 
reproducible using a current build? If so, can you reproduce this problem using a new Mozilla 
user profile?

(Bob Dingman, that's potentitally a different enough problem to warrant your filing a separate 
bug about it.)

Probably a dup.
