Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 74331

(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

Description

[Thomas Häber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

I wanted to open a file, the file open dialog is now open, I switched to another browser/firefox-instance (not to another tab), there I want to download a file. The download-dialog appears, but it doesn't enable the OK-Button neither I can submit the Abort/Cancel-Button, the only thing i can do is to close the dialog with the window-close-button (x) in the top right corner or to switch the options between open-with and save-on-disc.

Short:
there is no possibility to download a file with firefox, if another instance of the browser has an opened file-open-dialog.

Best regards,
Thomas

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. process an open file dialog and leave it open
2. switch to another browser instance
3. now you try to download a file within the the other instance

Actual Results:  
the download-dialog appears with an useless cancel and an disabled ok-button

Expected Results:  
There should an working cancel-button and an enabled and working ok-button.

If you close the file open dialog, you can download files without problems in the other instances.
