Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I have trouble when downloading with firefox to my NTFS data-partition
on Feisty (with latest updates). Remark: I use version 1.0 of NTFS 3g as
provided by the official repositories.

Now everytime I download a file (say http://www.gnome-
look.org/content/sh...content=30812), it is empty (0 byte) on the hard
disk and does not even appear in the firefox download list.

If I do however copy files from my ext3 home-partition to the NTFS
partition everything is fine.

An inquiry on the NTFS 3g forums revealed that it is not an NTFS 3g-bug.
I can confirm this, because it does not appear with Epiphany.

I have also tested a standard mozilla build of firefox and the problem
does not occur either. I suspect a bug in the Ubuntu firefox build.

Best,
ember
