Bug Description
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
affects /ubuntu/firefox
I was testing the feisty beta
daily-live/
whether the system could open .zip files, I did the following:
* Google searched for `zip download'.
* Picked a page at random that looked plausible.
* Selected a file for download.
Firefox offered to open the file in Archive Manager, of which I
approved so I said `yes'. The download manager opened and showed the
file downloading. However when it had completed, the file was not to
be found in Desktop and Archive Manager had not opened. Clicking
`open' in the download manager had no effect.
I can reproduce this effect with
http://
which contains a link to
