Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I googled for a datasheet (search '16f688 datasheet') and clicked on the
first result to download a pdf (41203B.pdf) from the server
ww1.microchip.com.

The download window shows the file name and size, and the domain
google.com.

It SHOULD show ww1.microchip.com

I consider this a minor vulnerability, an attacker could use this,
perhaps in combination with an XSS attack, to obscure the origin of a
downloaded file.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and Firefox 3 Beta 5
