268558 - Download Manager looks for floppy drive multiple times before beginning a media or zip file download.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 142664

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Mark Hlinak]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

In the page www.machinima.com, clicking on a zip file link, the download manager
opens a dialogue indicating that "there is no disk in drive A."  The dialogue
appears multiple times no matter which response you return (cancel, retry,
etc.).  Eventually, the file downloads after clicking "cancel" up to 10 times.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Firefox to ask what to do with a file every time.
2. Click on a non-plugin media file or zip file in a web page(e.g. if you have
set up Quicktime for streaming mpegs, the problem does not show up.  Only for
file types that cannot be opened within Firefox).
3. Select "open file with the default application."

Actual Results:  
A dialogue opens up saying there is no disk in drive A:.  You click cancel, and
it shows up again at least four times.  The file then downloads normally.

Expected Results:  
The file should just download normally.  There should be no drive A: dialogue. 
After all, does anyone really even use floppy disks anymore?

I was using Apollo 1.5 by Aaron Spuler.
