Description

[Pär Halleröd]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20070219 Firefox/2.0.0.2

I only happens on some images, and I've only used the function on a couple of sites so I don't know if it's limited to certain domain. However, it happens quite frequently, or most of the time, when dragging highres covers from discogs.com.

For example:
http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=215883

or trying to drag the images from (first might work, 2nd will not)
http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=75924


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?what=R&obid=75924
2. drag and drop 1st image, then a 2nd image
Actual Results:  
The error was reproduced

Expected Results:  
the temporary file copied to temp directory, should be unlocked and allowed to be copied. if the name of file existed already (??) it should rename it and used that filepath for copying to the selected drap & drop folder in explorer.

I see this problem indeed in Firefox 2.0.x, but not anymore in trunk builds. 
Trunk builds: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
The bug will not be present anymore in Firefox 3.0. Resolving WORKSFORME.
