(Toolkit :: Downloads API, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

Whenever you try to download a file from a web page which has spaces in its name (for example "my doc.zip"), it just takes the text up to the space character (ie: "my.zip"). That gets terribly annying when you have to download and rename tons of small files... 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right click on a file link on a web page and choose Save Link As...
2. It will default to a part of filename if it has a space in it


Actual Results:  
It saves the file with the chopped filename.

Expected Results:  
Save the file with the full filename, correctly recognizing whitespaces in the file name.
