Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 440072

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[BCS]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

(I think this happens on other pages to but I don't want to try it in the middle of reporting a bug)

When I try to save the page, it just looks up, The File menu disappears but the space under it doesn't get refreshed (it stays white) Nothing happens for at least a minute (that is the longest I have waited before killing it from the Task Manager). I just started getting this after the 2.0.0.8 -> 2.0.0.9 update.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a page
2. file -> save as

Actual Results:  
full hang

Expected Results:  
save page

do you still see this problem using Firefox 3 and a clean profile?
If you do, please comment.
If you do not, please close with resolution set to WORKSFORME.

I'm using FF2. Unless support for it is being dropped what relevance does FF3 have?

OTOH this is a manifestation of 440072
