Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 142664

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Thyago Barbosa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-BR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-BR; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I downloaded one file directly into A:. My FF is set to ask where to download
files, but it always starts on the last saved folder. The next time I tried to
UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD files, FF apparently tried to find A: and crashed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In the Options>Downloads, select "Ask for each new file" (sorry if it's not
exactly right, my FF isn't in English)
2. Save something directly into A:
3. Remove the floppy disk and try to download something.

Actual Results:  
FF crashed

Expected Results:  
Redirected the file navigator to another directory

Did it really crash? Or was it just a hang? Could you provide a talkback ID or
stack trace?

The looking for a: drive issue is a dupe of bug 142664 , however none of the
dupes mention a crash.

Once I had right clicked a link and choosen A:\ for saving a file.
eversinec then mozilla would crash on any download, if A:\ is empty 

thanks!

Once I had right clicked a link and choosen A:\ for saving a file.
eversinec then mozilla would crash on any download, if A:\ is empty 

With crash I meant:
A popup would appear saying "There is no disk in the drive. Insert disk in A:\"
 with three options: Cancel, Try again, Continue..
and on choosing any of these options, the popup would appear again and again for
14 times. And then the download would start!

thanks!
