Since installing 1.7.6 from 1.7.5 draging and droping a jpg image from a webpage
to the desktop replaces the extension jpg with exe

Reproducible: Always

jst, this sounds like your dragdrop security changes on branch.... any idea why
they're causing this?

Simon, do we have this problem on trunk too, by any chance?

Requesting blocking for 1.7.7, since this is a pretty major branch usability
regression.

I'm getting appropriate image file extensions when dragging images to the
desktop in Camino. I don't have a FF/Moz build to play with.

I cannot reproduce this.  Tried both MozSuite 1.7.6 and branch nightly from
April 15th.  Jim, does this happen with every JPG you download?  Which sites
specifically?  What OS version are you using?

Upon further digging I discovered this in my
"mimeTypes.rdf" file:

  <RDF:Description RDF:about="urn:mimetype:image/jpeg"
                   NC:fileExtensions="exe"
                   NC:description="Binary Executable"
                   NC:value="image/jpeg"
                   NC:editable="true">

I replaced "mimTypes.rdf" with one created with
a new profile and the problem cleared.

Ah, ok.  Given that setting, the behavior you saw (that of making the filename
match the MIME type, basically), is correct.
