Intentional by Mozilla.  the bug was that the version in 9.0 didn't
default to realplayer if you had it installed.  So you aren't really
seeing a bug but rather a fix.  Long after rpm existed in our world
RealPlayer switched to a 3 letter extension from a 2 letter one (windows
conformity here) so xxxx.rm became xxx.rpm (real player media) since
there was no "copyright" on this extension... nor is there possible to
be one.  It's not a legal problem.  But rather than get into that
discussion.  The solution has been since about RH 4.2 to right click and
chose save as.  (I do it by such a habit I didn't even notice I still
was.)
