When trying to download kino-cvs.tar.gz from the above page, the default
filename that Mozilla suggests is kino-cvs.tar.gz.tar. This is not the case when
you try to download kino-0.6.4.tar.gz from the same page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to 
2. Click on kino-cvs.tar.gz
3. Choose "save it to disk"
Actual Results:  
The file is suggested saved with the filename: kino-cvs.tar.gz.tar

Expected Results:  
The file is suggested saved with the filename: kino-cvs.tar.gz
Humm, looks a bit like bug 90490
I think this bug is caused by the resolution of bug 90490. That bug was about
adding extensions to filenames according to content type and content encoding.
Apparently, Mozilla is doing so without checking if the file already has a valid
extension.

Also, I don't think it has to do with 2 extension, since when I downloaded a
.pps file, Mozilla added .ppt
I have had this problem as well when downloading from the nightly builds
directory om ftp.mozilla.org. 

Downloading a file with the extension .tar.bz2 results in a file with the
extension .tar.bz2.tar when saved on my local drive.

And yes, the build I am using is always the latest.
