Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 287720

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect)

Description

[Maiko Herajin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051018 Firefox/1.4.1

I can not save flash animations using the Page Info Screen. More specifically,
it seems the problem occures when attempting to save *.swf files if they are
referenced on a relative path. The save as dialog box comes up, but the file
name is blank, and even if you type in a file name and press save, no file is
created. Also, no path information appears before the file in the actual Media
tab. If the flash is given as a full path by the page, you can save it normally.
Any other type of media file (at least, all the ones I've tested) saves normally.

A good example of the problem is on the example page I gave. Try to save the
flash intro.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools, Page Info
2. Go to Media tab
3. Highlight the flash animation in question.
4. Push Save as.

Actual Results:  
No file name, no file saved.

Expected Results:  
Should have suggested a file name, and saved the file.

Tried with and without the Download Statusbar extension enabled, did not work
both times. Has worked with past versions of Firefox.
