306973 - When downloading: "There is no disc in the drive. Please insert a disc into drive A:\"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 142664

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Modest Danyal]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Whenever I try to download a file, the above message appears.
Cancelling/continuing prompts the message to appear a couple more times, then
the file downloads to the desktop, then the message pops up as before, with the
same effect. You can dosnload okay, but it's hella annoying. Changed download
locations in the settings, no effect. If you keep a disk in the drive, Windows
searches the disk when you download something (you can hear the a: drive going
active), but doesn't exchange information with the disk (so it still saves to
the specified location). This only started happening when I installed the latest
version of Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a file. Any file. Specified to save to anywhere (or non specific
location)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
As above: the popup pops up, you dismiss it a few times, the file downloads, the
pop up pops up a few times more when the download's complete, then you can
access the download and the thing stays silent until you try and download
something else

Expected Results:  
download without popups to the specified location, tell you when it's done, and
stay quiet otherwise unless there's a problem.

Clearly a one-off issue, not general for everyone using FF!  The support forum at:

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38

is a good place to ask for support.  This bug is likely to be invalid, I'm afraid.

What are browser.download.dir and browser.download.downloadDir set to in
about:config?

Reporter, clean your download history.
