87494 - Mozilla saves tarballs to the wrong location

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 69938

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.1+) Gecko/20010622
BuildID:    2001062204

Mozilla saves tarballs to an incorrect location under certain circumstances.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.everybuddy.com/download.shtml
2. Click on "Source .tar.gz) (without holding down shift)
3. Select "Use a different action for this file"
4. Select "Save this file to disk"
5. Save the file to the Windows Desktop

Actual Results:  The file is saved to c:\windows\temp\ under a strange name with
a .gz extention instead of .tar.gz . The file is not automatically opened (not
that it should have been anyway).

Expected Results:  It should have saved the file, unchanged, to the Desktop,
without changing the file extention.

Perhaps this is a dup of the "files are saved in /tmp regardless of selected
directory" and "downloading .tar.gz automatically ungzips it without changing
the extension", but I'll be damned if I could remember either bug numbers.

Yes, I think this is a dup of bug #69938, sorry.
