Maybe a regression of previous bugs where non-existent files pulled up a
download dialog.

STEPS:

Enter file URL to non-existent directory:

file:///non/there/

OBSERVED:

Error message appears correctly indicating the file URL cannot be found.

Dismissal then followed by display of:

"
Downloading null

You have chosen to download a file of type: "Text Readme" [application/text] from
not:there

What should Netscape 6 do with this file?

[] Open using <no application specified>
[x] Save this file to Disk

[x] Always ask before opening this type of file

[Advanced] [Cancel] [OK]

EXPECTED: only error dialog will appear

Need to check other platforms...
