Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1774683

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[fabrizio :fabrizio]

Attachment: recording.mp4

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:101.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/101.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a session on Windows 10 Home Edition (use Run > Winver.exe to check edition).
2. Launch Firefox and go to https://en.metapedia.org/wiki/User:Upplysning or any other web page whose title contains a colon (:)
3. Drag and Drop the lock icon in the address bar to any Windows Explorer window in order to create a bookmark in the target directory

Actual results:

FF creates an empty file. Its name is often truncated.

Notes

• I used Windows Home Edition, v. 21H1
• bug absent on Windows 10 Professional Edition
• make sure the target directory is on NTFS volume (hard disk for instance)
• probably due to the fact that the colon is not allowed in filenames, bug may be present for other disallowed characters

Expected results:

Same behavior as on Windows 10 Professional Edition
