I did some slick time travel to do this :) ...version is 2.0.0.2 my
apologies.

** Summary changed:

- Firefox fails to report an error when print-to-file fails
+ No permission denied error in firefox

** Description changed:

  version 
  firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.9-0ubuntu0.6.06.1 
  
  Firefox browser shows no warning or alert if someone tries to print-to-
  file and the write fails.
  
  To reproduce;
  
- open a page in the browser
- choose file-> print
- check "print to file"
- Click Print button
- set file name (e.g foo.ps)
- Browse to a folder you do not have write permissions on
- click "save"
- progress bar will go by but no file is written and no warning/error is given.
+ Go to any page online. 
+ Go up to File in the menu bar. Select Print.
+ In the printer box, there should be a checkbox that says "Print to file", check it.
+ Click the Print button
+ Give the file any name (e.g foo.ps)
+ Browse to a folder you do not have write permissions on such as /root or /etc
+ Click "save"
+ Progress bar will start and end by but no file is written and no warning/error is given.
