Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I tried to save a web page, using Firefox 1.0, onto a 64 mb lexar jump drive in
a Compaq Presario 5000. The download did not work and the jump drive refused
that save and  further saves. It would not save from Word either but there was
download access to the files. I contacted Lexar and they told me to send it
back. Before doing that I saved the sixty or seventy web pages on the jump drive
and tried to reformat it. It formatted and would save from word. I tried to save
from firefox again and it locked up again. I messed around with it and formatted
it again and then it decided to accept a web page save from firefox and seems to
be alright although I am using other USB drives for web page saves right now. I
tried to save to it from IE before reformatting and it would not accept IE saves
either. 

While all this was going on I bought a 256 Lexar and a 256 Memorex usb drive and
they saved alright with Firefox. I am now using the 64 mb. Lexar and waiting for
this to happen again. I am very pleased to be using Firefox on all my drives and
am forwarding this not as a complaint but in the hope that any bug it might
represent can be corrected.
