Details

(Whiteboard: completed-elm) 

Sometimes the value passed into SetDefaultExtension isn't a valid file extension.

It may contain invalid chars which causes an exception when trying to set the save file picker's default file extension.

You can reproduce such a case with the following:
1. Go to a stackoverflow profile page (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/users/3153/brian-r-bondy)
2. Right click on the image and Save Image As...

Actual results:
File picker is not shown

Expected results:
File picker should be shown

We should ignore such exceptions and have no default in that case.
