Rightclicking links using "save as" makes Firefox freeze completely.
Firefox is compiled with debug information. Here's output from 
running "firefox -debug" and provoking the freeze.

My situation is Solaris x86 Sun Studio 10 compiled Firefox with
all non-customization patches applied from FC4 SRPM.

I don't get a freeze, but I do get an exception:

*** exception in validateLeafName: [Exception... "Component returned failure
code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsILocalFile.create]"  nsresult:

I take it back... I had an incorrect path set.  It works when the
download path is correct.

However, I would rather have it do something better than this.

Comment 3

[Michal Nowak]

I resolved it by setting `lo` up
> ifconfig lo up

I am not sure if it's fully related only to Gentoo Linux and/or it's partialy
problem of Mozilla* (Mozilla Thunderbird did the same thing and Evolution was
reported too).

I had the same problem on FreeBSD: It turned out to be related to some stuff in /etc/sysctl.conf, I changed the lines:

net.inet.tcp.blackhole=1
net.inet.udp.blackhole=1

to:

net.inet.tcp.blackhole=0
net.inet.udp.blackhole=0

and rightclicking "save as" in firefox works, no hangs!
