Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Make a directory called /tmp/testdirectory
2. Start Firefox and enable the Gtk file selector for downloads, i.e. "Edit >
Preferences > General > Download" and click "Always as me where to save files"
3. Navigate to a page where a file is available for download
4. Attempt to save this file as /tmp/testdirectory
Expected result: The file is not saved.
Actually result: The directory /tmp/testdirectory (and any contents) are
overwritten and silently replaced with the file.
