Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050105 Debian/1.7.5-1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20050105 Debian/1.7.5-1

I'm using Mozilla 1.7.5-1 on Debian.

"Save all" acts different on Debian and on Windows.

On windows it opens "Choose directory" diacog, where i can coose dicectory,
where to save all attachments. 

On debian it opens "Save file" dialog. It opens shows content of default
directory, where button "select" is dissabled, and i have to go up, then single
click on folder (double click opens folder and i have to go back) and then click
on button "select".   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to save multiple attachments with "Save all".
Actual Results:  
it shows dialog for saving single file.

Expected Results:  
it must show dialog to choose directory. the same as in windows.

dupe of 'Cannot "save all" - save button inactive in default directory (unless
you select another one)'

It is designed for choosing a directory, but the UI is not that great.  See also
