716086 - In Firefox 9.01 "Save Image as..." last folder sometimes is lost, when saving from a different tab

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[KWJ]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
Build ID: 20111220165912

Steps to reproduce:

Save Image as... Select folder where you want to save your image. Select different tab than save another image and you see that you are in some previous location, why?
It doesn't occur always, but occasionally. It causes some chaos because doing it fast you find out that you saved images somewhere else than you wanted it to.


Actual results:

Save as dialog didn't save last location, actually you are in previous directory, but it happens randomly.


Expected results:

Save as dialog should be in location of last saved file

As far as I can tell it is not exactly random. What happens is each tab position on the bar gets its own save location. That is first tab from the left will remember its save location, second will remember another location, etc. And they seem to remember those locations between sessions. If you close the browser and restart it, and open a few different pages, the tabs will remember their different locations depending on their position on the tab bar.

And yeah this behavior causes total mess on the local disk.

Closing this as WFM, but please reopen the bug if you can still reproduce the issue. Thanks!
