Description

[Tobias Herp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 MultiZilla/1.7.0.2b
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-AT; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 MultiZilla/1.7.0.2b

Save anything using Mozilla and double-click a Windows reference to a
_directory_ (or folder; a .lnk file, something like a soft link in Linux/Unix).
Mozilla asks if you really intend to overwrite the link file, instead of
switching to the referred directory/folder

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using Mozilla, choose to save anything
2. In the save dialog window, double-click a reference to a directory (which is
a .lnk file looking like a folder)
Actual Results:  
Mozilla asks whether or not your really intend to overwrite the .lnk file

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should switch to the referred directory

Tested with Windows XP SP2

Have tried this with an recent Nightly-Build running w2k

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050428
Mnenhy/0.7.2.0 {Build ID 2005042820} 

and I can't reproduce this behaviour. Think this needs some testing with a
Branch Build, will do this probably on weekend.

Tobias, could you run a Test with an recent Trunk-Nightly-Build on your Machine?
