Hello world!
As proposed in bug 178506, downloaded files are now assigned the last-
modified timestamp from the remote server. This is a major annoyance
in my opinion, but since even reasonable suggestions such as chaging
the behaviour through a pref (bug 545392) fall on deaf ears, I guess
this is one of those ideological deals which you can't argue about.
Can somebody suggest a more convenient workaround than
| If you want the timestamp on a file downloaded by Firefox to be

?
As you can tell from my asinine sense of entitlement and fear of new
things, I'm on Windows.
There are good reasons to use time last modified as seen on the server. There
are also good reasons to use time of download to the client. Therefore I would
say there is a *really* good argument for letting the user choose. On Linux/Mac
it's less critical, the accessed and changed dates can be used for sorting or
searching.
