272352 - Frequently (3 out of 4) Mozilla will not do the search requested, but instead wants to save it to disk. But nothing gets saved.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122

"The file "search" is of type application/octet-stream, and Mozilla does not
know how to handle this type file.  The file is located at: http://www.google.com
What should Mozilla do with this file? ... "

I cancel and try to do the search again, and nothing happens.  Rebooting the
computer will usually get one search before it hangs again.

I can immediately open Internet Explorer and use Google from there.

I have a printscreen of the failure which I would attach to this report, if
there was a way.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do search from Google
2.
3.




I use Mozilla in the default configuration.

I understand you that are having difficulty using Google to perform
we searchs. Are you able to provide a more detailled recipe?
