This also happens under Linux (build 2000073104) when trying to save to a file
that is not writable to the user running mozilla

Networking.

Comment 3

[Matthew Mueller]

This may be what Patrick was talking about, but its not only writing to files
that are read only/not writable, but directories as well.  If you try to save in
a directory that is read only (not writable by you), it will crash.
