When you right click on an image or a page then you click on "save
<page/image/etc..>", and then click on a .lnk (a shortcut to some specified
directory) it tries to replace then link instead of follow the link to the
proper directory.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on an image or homepage
2. depending on what you are trying to save, you just click on
"save <image/html/etc..> as" 
3. if you have a .lnk (Windows Shortcut/Link which goes to a specified
directory) and you click on the shortcut/link, the browser doesn't follow the
link to the specified directory.  It tries to replace the .lnk file

Actual Results:  
it tries to replace my link to a directory instead of traversing the link to the
specified directory

Expected Results:  
It should tranverse the shortcut/link file to my specified directory
