Regards, Jan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1023012 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.
