(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[Tantek Çelik]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b10) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b10) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b10

Safari sets the "Where from:" (URL) metadata field in Finder Get Info on downloaded files, and Firefox Download Manager should also do this.

This has security implications because being able to tell where a downloaded file came from helps the user make better decisions about security.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a file from the internet (e.g. one of our installers) using Safari
2. Download same file using Firefox
3. Get info on both downloaded files
Actual Results:  
Compare the Get Info windows of the two downloaded files, note that the one from the Safari downloaded file has a "Where from:" field which shows the URL from which the file was downloaded, and that the Firefox downloaded file does not.


Expected Results:  
Get Info on the Firefox downloaded file also shows the URL from which it was retrieved in the "Where from:" field in the Get Info window on the file.
