Confirmed on Windows 7, 64 bits, with Firefox 22 beta 2, User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0, Build ID: 20130521223249.

This only happens on zippyshare, other sharing services such as mediafire don't have this issue.
However, on Google Chrome the files downloaded from zippyshare have proper names.

All the weird filenames begin with "=_UTF-8_B_", are followed by a string of random letters and numbers, and end with "_="

Might be related to bug 622400, but here there's no ".part" extension at the end of the file, and the structure of the name is very different.

Can someone give an Example Link?
Or a HTTP Request/Response Log?
