Thank you for reporting this bug. Could you specify which version of
firefox and ubuntu are you using? I cannot reproduce this bug in ubuntu
12.04 with firefox 14.0. If I try to save a text file from firefox and
rename it so as to start with a dot, the file is correctly saved with
the expected initial dot. When I try again and overwrite the file, I see
no removal of the initial dot.
** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete

Title:
firefox does not save an attachments starting with dot
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
When I download & save a file and I change the name to start with a dot,
it 0) prompts me to replace the existing dot file, if it exists, 1) removes
the
existing dot file, and 2) silently removes the dot and saves it with the
name.
Example, someone mailed me a .bash_completion to replace an existing one,
and it removed the existing but saved /home/me/bash_completion.
I consider it a bug to not save dot-files if I ask for it, or to not give a
proper
error message if it refuses. If upstream disagrees, it is at least a bug to
remove the existing dot-file if it refuses to save over it.
