I have a folder link (shortcut) on my desktop going to my pictures folder.
Whenever I right click an image and select 'Save Picture As', then double click
the shortcut, it won't access the folder. It instead wants to overwrite the
shortcut.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a shortcut to a folder on your computer
2.Right click any picture in your browser
3.Click 'Save Picture As'
4.Navigate to folder shortcut and double click

Actual Results:  
Error message "*.lnk already exists. Do you want to replace it?". If you click
yes, it will overwrite the .lnk.

Expected Results:  
It should have given access to desired folder, allowing me to save the picture
in that folder.

Firefox version 1.0.3
