** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  When I attempt to save a web page to my disk via "Save Page As..."  nothing 
happens.    
  No file dialog pops up to save.
  I  can view source and that seems normal.
  
  Also applies to "Save link as"
  
  Error console reports the following:
  Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDownloadManager.userDownloadsDirectory]"  
nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: 
chrome://global/content/contentAreaUtils.js :: getTargetFile :: line 439"  
data: no]

+ Update:
+ Based on the exception message,  I looked at configured download folder and 
found that folder no longer existed on my system.  Reconfiguring that folder to 
be an existing folder corrected the problem.  So bug is that "save" triggers an 
unhandled exception when downloads folder does not exist,  even in case when 
user should be prompted for folder.  (download folder is not relevant).
