(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

When I atttempt to begin a download from any site that links to a file that
mozilla deems downloadable (i.e a link pointing to an .exe file ...) I receive a
message box titled "Downloading C:\TMP\stuff.extension" with the message
"C:\TMP\stuff.extension could not be saved, because the source file could not be
read. Try again later, or contact the server administrator." So it seems that
when attempting to start a download, mozilla is attempting to download a local
file. One thing to note is that the filename always changes. Using another
browser (Explorer, Phoenix, Opera) this feature works. I haven't been able to
reproduce this on every copy of mozilla I run, it seems to have occured after a
period of time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to mozilla.org
2.Attempt to download a mozilla release
3.

Actual Results:  
I received the afore-described message box

Expected Results:  
Downloaded the file
