User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

In our case, Error occurs if a user has a network drive (such as H:) designated as the "saves File to" option, while the "Always ask me where to save" dialog box is selected, and the h: get disconnected.  When going to save a file, the save box comes up, click save file, and nothing happens.  Was fixed by going back and changing the default save path.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Map a network drive and use it for the "Saves file to" option.
2. Change download preference to "Always ask me where to save."
3. Disconnect network drive.
4. Go to a download site and try to download a File.
5. Save file.  Box goes away, but download does not start.
Actual Results:  
Download does not actually occur and am not asked where to save file.

Expected Results:  
Should have been prompted where to save the file.

Only extension used is Foxmarks.  Everything else is default settings.
