218173 - Unable to download from http or ftp from a web page. Also seems to affect opening attachments in mail.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 203689

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Jon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

When I try to download - for example - a program from a webpage I get a dialogue
with the title

C:\DOCUME~1\OWNER\LOCALS~1\TEMP\0xhi9gu1.exe

Contained in the dialogue is an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle with the
following message.

C:\DOCUME~1\OWNER\LOCALS~1\TEMP\0xhigu1.exe could not be saved, because the
source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

Followed by an OK button.

I could not find anything on bugzilla - hope I am not duplicating a bug report
here.  I did find a few people - very few people - who had similar experiences
such as the comments found at http://www.natrak.net/node/view/239 but no
workaround or fix.

Whatever it is seems to affect opening of attachments in mail too.

I am going to try a re-install of Mozilla 1.4

Keep up the great work guys! :)
