Every time I download something.torrent, I select "Save to Disk" and check the
"Do this automatically for files like this from now on" box. The download
dialogue box always appears, even though the now-saved entry appears in the File
Types box in the FF Preferences.

Upon closer examination, the saved entry actually says "ORRENT", and when I
attempt to download a file with a .orrent extension, it automatically saves
without a dialogue prompting me.

I assume the problem is that there is a six character limit on extensions for
File Types.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to save any file with a .torrent file extension
2. Select "Save to Disk" and check the "Do this automatically for files like this
 from now on" box
3. Goto 1
Actual Results:  
The download dialogue window pops up every time.

Expected Results:  
The download dialogue should no longer show up now that the option to autosave
has been selected.
Dialogue issue fixed in the latest OSX Firefox nightly. It still says "ORRENT",
but I couldn't care less about that. :)
