As <a href="http://rox.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/WhatIsRox">this
page</a> explains, this is a great feature.

I often find myself saving from many sites at once, and using the file picker
each time is a pain. Thankfully, images can be DnD saved already.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drop a link target or site icon on the desktop or a directory.
Actual Results:  
Mozilla created a shortcut.

Expected Results:  
No modifier key:
- Create shortcut.

Shift held:
- Save as default filename and last chosen type (Web page, complete) in target
directory.

Ctrl held:
- Pop up the save dialog for target directory so the user can specify type and
filename.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
