Firebird crashed when I tried to save a file in a directory that already
contains ~250 files à 5 to 15 megs

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on the link
2. Click on "Save target as..."
3. Choose the specific directory

Actual Results:  
Firebird killed itself.

Expected Results:  
I think it should start the download instead ;)

Please test to see if this is still a problem with newer builds.  The
downloading mechanism has been updated.

Hi Thomas,

Can you please try re-testing the bug you reported with the latest nightly build
of Firebird and report back with your findings.

No response from reporter in over six weeks. Resolving WFM.

Thomas, if you are still seeing this in a current build from
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk and a fresh
profile, please reopen the bug.
