That page is a 404 Not Found error page. If that was what you intended, this is
a dup of bug 212906 and will thus probably be fixed by a fix for bug 263698 just
like bug 212906's Seamonkey sister bug 145124 was fixed by bug 160454.

http://freshmeat.net/projects/libswfdec/ :
Reporo' on latest ff trunk builds. WFM on seamonkey buids.

Confirmed -> File handling.

I have a very similar bug when trying to save mp3 files that are kept on homepage.mac.com

Go to this page;  http://www.WhiteRoseSociety.org/Rhodes.html and scan to the bottom (most current) 
entry in the show list.  Right-click and try to save it and you get the "File cannot be saved..." error just 
as in this instance.  You can however single-click on it and it will be played.  The file is there, and you 
can indeed download it with other browsers.  But neither Mozilla nor Firefox in the current version can 
save this file.

Another example: http://www.smart.com/ and all of its sub-pages (except for the
US version) cannot be saved.

Rather nasty bug. Affects Firefox, but not Mozilla Suite. Shouldn't severity be
raised above "normal"?

As expected, all the links have changed and there are no problems. Is anyone still seeing this?

Not seeing this, either. Going to close as WFM.
