Somewhere towards the back.  You do five CVS updates a day, you tell me!

DownloadFailed is a bool.  LocalDownloadFilename is a std::string or
something derived therefrom.  Oh wait, we're in Mozillala-land now. 
Let's see, I'll take a WAG:  DownloadFailed is an instance of the XUL
interpreter, LocalDownloadFilename is a reversed-order EBCDIC-encoded
string (the latter in order to be maximally and equally incompatible
with all current known OSs).

windows.h IIRC.

Right.  Well, if LocalDownloadFilename is in fact a std:string, you'll
need to do a .c_str().  But those details are for the paid employees to
work out.  Sometime before the Second Coming of Christ hopefully, but
whenever.

What the hell is that suppose to do?  That's not going to warn anybody
if their download failed, let alone remove the useless partial-file! 
Sharpen up here LaG.

No, you just did nothing at all.

I do.  AOL probably does too - send them a resume, I think not being
able to define functions is the top thing they're looking for.

Do you ever ask yourself why you work 14-hour days at a grocery store? 
You just told the rest of us the answer.

And pay attention LaG - they *fixed* the no-context-menu defect like a
week ago, after I brought it up loudly.  And not a second before.  Cache
is of course still broken as you say, but whaddaya want for nothin'? 
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrubbba biscuit?
