When right clicking the "Download" button and selecting "Save link as", the
download won't start and an error message is displayed: "The link could not be
saved. The web page might have been removed or had its name changed" while the

Actual Results:  
Error message: "The link could not be saved. The web page might have been

Are you able to reproduce this with a current trunk build:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/

Same with Mozilla 1.7.9. The site does not support HEAD. Wait for the new FF 1.1
or upgrade to the upcoming Alpha2 release or a trunk nightly.

See bug 160454 comment 123.
