Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180672

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20050111

When I trying to download any file (for example I now will take new FireFox
1.0.1 from Mozilla.org site, but I does no matter from where I am trying to
download), Mozilla 1.8a6 shows me error message, that file FROM MY HARD DISK
temporary folder (C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local
Settings\Temp\<random generated simbols>.<original file extension>) could not be
read. I think the problem is in function where Mozilla starts download file to
temporary folder when showing me File>Save dialog. I think bug is somewhere there.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mozilla 1.8a6
2. Try to download something (there no matter if download adress is 'encrypted'
with PHP (example.site.com/downlod.php?id=0000) or direct
(example.site.com/file.mpg)

Actual Results:  
I see an error message that file could not be saved (IE and other browsers can
save this file) because file C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local
Settings\Temp\<random generated simbols>.<original file extension> couldn't not
be read. 

Expected Results:  
Normally open progress dialog (that are enabled in settings) and start download
fail.

If we would know the exact problem, the bug would have been fixed already ;-).
