When trying to download the Poker software at

http://downloads.pokerroom.com/poker4/

the file download dialog pops up. 

However, choosing "Save to disk" and clicking Ok seems to do nothing.

When opening the Download manager, the file is not listed and nothing seems to
have been saved.

However, right-clicking on the download link and using "Save link as..." works
(downloads and shows up in Download Manager)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://downloads.pokerroom.com/poker4/
2. Click "Download"
3. Chose "Save to disk" and click Ok
4. Nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Start download, show in Download Manager and save to disk.

Reporter, when downloading a bigger exe (over 2 mb for example), will the
download manager appear? Also, can you check your directory to see if the file
is being saved?

If it is, this is a dupe (can't find the bug number though).

Bug 243324 is the only problem I see downloading the file.

I'm pretty sure this is because of the small file size.

Actually, I think I know what the problem is.

My default download directory (I've set firefox to save all files to this
folder) had the wrong rights set, which led to it being write protected as far
as FireFox was concerned. However, this led Firefox to simply do nothing after
pressing "OK" in the "Open file" -> "Save to disk" dialog.

Is this expected behavior?
