Downloading files by using rightclick download link, select save link as is
broken. After selecting Save Link As results in no download, but a Save Link
message saying: "The link could not be saved. The webpage might have been
removed or has his name changed", always. Leftclicking will result in a proper
download! (so page/file location is valid!)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Rightclick download link (valid one)
2. Select Save Link As
3. Error message "The link could not be saved. The webpage might have been
removed or has his name changed"

Actual Results:  
Error message "The link could not be saved. The webpage might have been removed
or has his name changed"

Expected Results:  
Download should start and show file location dialog (where to save file)

The 20030616 build worked, so this was broken in the last 2 days.

"Save Link As..." is a major and important function.

Bumping up severity.

I can download acronym.src, but logo_ns40.gif fails.

With the same build, I'm hitting a slightly different problem: attempting to
save any image (save link as, save image as, save as while viewing standalone
image) fails silently.  I'm guessing it's the same bug.

JS Console shows the following message.

Error: mimeInfo.GetFileExtensions is not a function
Source File: chrome://browser/content/contentAreaUtils.js
Line: 530

This cause it is bug 205895. I made patch based on the change in Mozilla. It
seems that it is working well.
