Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130618035212 Steps to reproduce: save a file (web page, download, any file) wait for the save dialog to come up Actual results: The save dialog offers you the opportunity to change the file name, with the entire file name selected. Expected results: The save dialog should only pre-select the file name part of the file name, not the extension. So "Foo.txt" should have "Foo" pre-selected. In the rare case where the user wants to change the extension, they can, but 90% of the time the user will only want to change the Foo part.

The same behavior is encountered ever since Firefox 4.0. For now, I'm setting this as an enhancement.
Severity: normal → enhancement
This is actually a dupe of bug 426680 (fixed for a while ago).
