Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 336113

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[peter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.4 (Ubuntu-feisty)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.4 (Ubuntu-feisty)

Opening the file directly works well, however saving the file leads to zero sized file placed to destination directory, with NO warning or other indice that something went wrong.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the page
2.Click on any of the files
3.select "save as" from popup Firefox dialog and specify SMB network share as target destination
4.look at the downloaded file
Actual Results:  
Zero sized file

Expected Results:  
File correctly downloaded

Downloading the file onto local drive works well.

I think this bug has been introduced with Firefox 2.0 -I never met such problems with 1.5 series.

The same with Debian's IceWeasel, and with mozilla's original Firefox package.
