When saving a page as text, the HTML extension is still used.  This is wrong
because the resulting file is not HTML.  The TXT extension should be used.  

This requires the user to overwrite the default extension.  An experienced,
knowledgeable user will usually do that (but sometimes forget).  A novice user
(the kind we want to become a Mozilla fan) will not know to do that.  

Steps to Reproduce:  
1.  Open a Web page.  
2.  Right-click and select "Save Page As" from the pull-down menu.  
3.  On the Save As window, select "Text Files" in the Save As Type list. 
4.  Save the file.   

Actual result:  The file name has the HTML extension.  

Expected result:  The file name should have the TXT extension.

Sounds like a regression from bug 160454.
