I have several shortcuts/links on my desktop that point to subfolders of a
mounted network drive.  I can access these properly with explorer and IE. But
from mozilla, when I try to save a web page or save a target to one of these, it
tries to overwrite the link.  More precisely, from the save dialog, I try to
click thru the link in order to go down to a subdirectory below it.  But instead
of simply moving down to the next level, I get the error message
"<somethin>/Desktop/linkname.lnk already exists.  Do you want to replace it?" 
Of course this is not my intent.

If I go back to My Computer and enter thru the top level mounted network drive,
i.e. thru y: , then I am able to navigate down to the location I was interested
in, and which is below where the the .lnk file was pointing to.  So likely this
is just a problem recognizing the .lnk file.

If it matters, my .lnk file points inside of the network drive, i.e. to
y:/Documents and Settings/myaccount/My DOcuments/blah blah blah, which is the My
Documents directory from another machine.

Reproducible: Always

whoops, got fooled by no connection to a network drive.  This looks like a
duplicate of Bug 283730
