From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.4 i686; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010508
BuildID:    2001050822

The first character of a filename is chopped off if you try to save to the root
directory by manually editing the filename in the Save As dialog box.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on any image
2. Choose Save As
3. Type a / character at the start of the filename, to signify the root
directory, e.g. filename would be /mozilla-banner.gif
4. Press save.

Actual Results:  File is saved as /ozilla-banner.gif

Expected Results:  File should be saved as /mozilla-banner.gif

I see this on linux build 2001060811, but why would you want to run mozilla as
root anyways?

dr, can you take a look at this since bryner is on vacation? This sounds like 
something good for limbo.
