220680 - Save as dialog doesn't append .htm extension to dynamic page names

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 221899

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michele Dal Corso]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030925 Firebird/0.7

 when I use the File->Save as... feature of Mozilla Firebird 0.7RC with a
dynamic generated page, Firebird doesn't append the .htm estension to the
original page name.

You can try with this bugzilla page: hit Ctrl+S, FB will ask for saving
viewtopic.php file. But you aren't saving a cgi file: you are saving only a
rendered html!
This cause a broken behavior in Windows Explorer: double clicking on the saved
page starts another associated program and not the default browser!
It is a critical bug for unexperienced users!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a dynamic generated page (.php, .cgi, .pl ...)
2. Go to menu File -> Save as...
3. The file name proposed has not the .html extension
Actual Results:  
You cannot open the file saved with double click in Windows Explorer.

Expected Results:  
The old behaviour: It should add the .html extension to the dynamic page filenames.

In IE, when a page saved with "Web Page, HTML only", this
URL(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220680) is saved to "Bug 220680
- Save as dialog doesn't append _htm extension to dynamic page names.htm" and
the original file name "show_bug.cgi" is totally lost. I guess this bug may be
WONTFIX, but if it's not, "show_bug.cgi.html" would be better for the name of
the saved file, hopefully with check box to turn off .html appending.
