(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mikul Makim]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050628
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050628

When you go to a site with mpg or wav video files and left click to download it
nothing happens or you get an error "C:/filename cannot be saved because the
source file cannot be read".  Now on many sites when you right click and save
the file it works just fine.  Have also tried to open the same files in firefox
and it works.  This problem did not occur before this build.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a site like http://media.pc.ign.com/media/746/746556/vids_1.html
2. Select view now
3. select left click to download
4. select right click to save
Can be reproduced with any site with mpeg or wav files

Actual Results:  
Error message as documented above.  On other site nothing happens after clicking

Expected Results:  
Should have opened the dialog box asking to open with an application or save it
to disk.
