1. Use File -> Save As and browse to a directory containing a shortcut to another 
   directory.
2. Double-click the shortcut to be taken to the target directory.

RESULT
You are prompted to overwrite the shortcut with the file.

EXPECTED
You are taken to the target of the shortcut.

I'm not sure what Firefox is doing differently when it calls the Windows common
dialog, but no other application I have behaves this way (and I'm fairly certain
that Firefox didn't until recently).
