Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

Downloading is still possible, but you need to retype the filename again and
again. If you open a download in a new tab, everything works fine. Strange,
probably just some forgotten init.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Context Menu.
2. Select Save Link As.
3. You get it as mentioned. For instance, fileNAME.xyz gets renamed into
undefined.xyz.

Actual Results:  
I got filename undefined.xpi, undefined.xpi undefined.tar.gz and so on if I was
not careful. 

Expected Results:  
Normal filename is expected.

Attachment: shot of such a download (update of an xpi)

Well, I should correct myself. For some filetype it works (download in tabbed
window), for some it doesn't. Quite a fat duck.

Can you provide a url where you are seeing this?

Comment 4

Just as I said - try to download a Mozilla update, like .xpi update (Save link
as... - this way you need to DL Thunderbird .xpi-s to install them later from
disk). Any will do. Let's I'll take the topmost this week. OK? This would
normally install you FlashGot - problem is totally irellevant on how much
plugins and which are installed.
Again:

Can you retest in firefox safe mode.

Did not start in safe mode. Just deleted all the .xpi-s. They hacked up the
init, probably guilt was on them, I am suspicios about MAF, HTML Validator/Tidy,
CustomizeGoogle, NoScript (was installed twice: 1.1.1 & 1.0.9). 

Definitly not FireFox bug. Problems lie in extensions.

What a hack! It's back again. Currently, installed this runstuff (besides DOM
inspector, Reporter and Talkback, all 1.7+):
- Flash 7.0.25,
- Sun Java 1.5.0_04,
- All-in-One Sidebar 0.5,
- Copy Plain Text 0.3.1,
- Html Validator (Tidy based) 0.6.2,
- Mozila Archive Format (a.k.a. MAF) 0.6.0 (no effect, 0.6.1 has the same effect),
- NoScript 1.1.1,
- ShowIP 0.7.10.
Extenions are of course installed on current (testing) user level, Flash and
Java are installed systemwide. Root user has installed his own extensions. If
anyone is willing to remake the bug on his/her machine, do so. 


I should reform the original description of the bug. After a while or straight
ahead it happens to downkload files as undefined.whatever_type_it_is. It's not
quite in the way as it looked in the first place, but so it seems.   

It is clear to me that this is probably a vulnerability question, but where I
and if it exists I still don't know. 
Blocking and limitimg Javascript looks of course very sensible to me.

Run a really heavy application (probably Java intensive?) backwards. I didn't
notice that in first place - I run three windows of OOo 2.0beta (should inform
them too if nothing wrong here, but old mozilla 1.7.6 I took from archive was
doing fine).  
You'll probably have to open more windows - the original for your favorite
search - in this case Google. After a search, open some links in new windows and
try to download anything from a page. Keep doing it. It may fail in half an hour
or as quick as yoou start the browser. Maybe someone will figure it out _why_.

Nothing to do with Firefox. Real problem is installation of MAF 0.6.x (currently
0.6.2), probably conflicting other extensions.
