[Felipe Zapata]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I have a desktop shorcut to a personal folder, and I save every file there,
however, since I've installed v1.03 and v1.04 when I double click the shorcut,
Firefox treats it as a file in the "save as..." dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In desktop, create a shortcut to a folder
2. Use "save file as..." in Firefox
3. Search for the shorcut and double click

Actual Results:  
Tries to save the file with the name and extension of the shortcut file

Expected Results:  
Open the folder asociated with the shortcut, and use the selected file name to
save it.
