From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010628 BuildID: 2001062815 Right clicking on a link in a web page brings up a menu. "Save Link As" saves the link (which is a file) to a file. If the link is a gzipped file (extension .gz) Mozilla uncompresses it. The uncompressed data is saved to file and the .gz extension is kept on the name. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a web page that has a link to a gzipped file, "foo.gz" 2. Right click on the link 3. Select "Save Link As" Actual Results: foo.gz is saved. Name is still foo.gz. foo.gz is no longer compressed in the gz format. Expected Results: 1. foo.gz should still be compressed in the gz format. 2. Or, the name should be changed to foo. Prefer #1. The web page http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/216495.html has a link to a gzipped PS file in the upper right corner labelled: Cached: PS.gz This problem may not happen (as often) on Unix versions of Mozilla.
This should be a dupe of bug 91862 (and bug 35956) (BTW:Your build is too old, please update your build to a recent version before you file a bug) Please reopen if you disagree *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 91862 ***

Tested "Cached: PS.gz" link on build 2001080110. Build 2001080110 is still ungzipping the file and leaving the .gz extention present. Can't reopen bug 91862, so reopening this bug.

Brent, are you still able to reproduce this? It appears to be working for me on my 8/28 linux build.

Worksforme on a 0.9.4 Linux build.
Can someone test this on Win98?
Andreas, this bug has been marked a dupelicate of bug 35956. If anyone can reproduce it he/she should reopen that bug, but don't post anything else to this bug unless it's a VERIFIED DUPLICATE.
Ok, I see the problem now. This is not a duplicate of bug 35956 (the last checkin there has indeed happened long ago), but a duplicate of bug 91862 (in fact it's the same bug) which has been resolved as fixed on 2001-08-10 (with a checkin of a fix). This explains why the bug could still be observed on a build from 08/01. So to avoid an inconsistency, I'm reopening again...
