On linux it is however like this
________________________________

|------------------------------|
| (*) Save file                |
| ( ) Open with [emacs|v]      |
|                              |
|             [ CANCEL ] [ OK ]|

The linux version was downloaded from getfirefox.com in Slackware and installed
from the install-firefox.sh file (i think thats the name).  this is confusing
for people used to the other method.

This is intentional: Firefox on Linux uses the Gnome (and MacOS) button layout,
which is different from the one used on Windows. See also bug 233456.
