Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 299372

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Erhan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

When I search for a pdf file in google, I try to download some of the files.
When I select 'Save Link As' a pdf file in google, the download manager always
gives it a default name 'url.htm', which is very frustrating. In previous
versions of firefox, there was no such problem, the file is downloaded with its
original name. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open google.com
2. Make a query, for example 'firefox filetype:pdf'
3. Then try to save any of the files by using save link as.


Actual Results:  
The default name appears as 'url.htm' in download manager dialog.

Expected Results:  
The original name of the pdf file should be viewed by default

Confirmed on Firefox 1.5b1, Windows XP. Clicking on a link is fine, but Save
Link As does indeed produce "url.htm".

Despite the misleading summary, apparently we're going to pile all the "Save
link as gets wrong filename" bugs on bug 299372 rather than the less-specific
bug 271091.
