156906 - tar.gz files will be downloaded as tar.gz.tar files

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 144334

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Xa Schuppisser]

downloading a tar.gz file like fop-0.20.3-src.tar.gz from
http://xml.apache.org/dist/fop/ will (if you choose "save as")
propose as a filename "fop-0.20.3-src.tar.gz.tar". After the 
download is finished, opening the file by doubleclicking it under
windows will result in a error, therefore one might think, mozilla
makes errors downloading files and switch back to IE ;-).

This seems to be a dupilicate of bug 120327. This is the third one I've found in two days.. no permissions again. gah. 

Is application/octet-stream mime type set to auto-open as TAR?
