can't see any reason, why Mozilla should put % here...)

Reporter: Can you test this again, when something like %20 is added, its usally
some whitespace in your URL.

By E-Mail:
my mistake, it doesnt seem that it puts a % there with that link in 
particular but I will get the following message:

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\TEMP\c2wS393f.doc could not be saved, because 
the source file could not be read.

Try again later or contact the server administrator.

It happens also when I try doing a "save target location" or it asks me for 
a place to save it but then it doesnt download it, but gives me no error 
message.


Ok, then this must be Bug 171441
Reporter: Delete the file compreg.dat, that should solve this problem
