While downloading files with .rar or .exe extensions, about 30 or 40% of the
time the "save" button is disabled.  The run option is as usual disabled of
course.  This bug isn't limited to any specific website.  I have no 3rd party
extensions loaded either.  Bug isnt limited to Deer park , had this issue in
previous builds ( nightly as well as 1.0.4 )

QUICK FIX: simply double clicking the download manager makes the button become
active. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Load Firefox 
2.  Download a series of .rar / .exe files
3.  have download manager open

Actual Results:  
The "Save" button on the download manager is disabled.

Expected Results:  
should be able to click save.

Are you sure this isn't just because of the fix for bug 260560? The button is
not supposed to be enabled if the window doesn't have focus. Double clicking the
window would give it focus, and I imagine if you're repeatedly downloading
files, the various DM windows can go in and out of focus.

I don't believe it was widely publicised that the Save button was disabled for
security purposes related to #260560.

IMHO this bug should be marked as WONTFIX.

No response + most likely reason is "by design" = INVA.
