[Bug 99384] Firefox pdf-download to NTFS will be renamed

[bmhm]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When downloading a PDF file (Portable document format) to a partition which uses the NTFS-Filesystem, the downloaded file will be renamed to name.pdf.bin
I tried different filesystems and different file types and different servers. But it only occures with PDFs on NTFS-Systems.

Well I just did another few tests. Sometimes downloading the file will
create a 0-byte-file. This occured on NTFS, never on ext3 / reiserFS.
Using "Save as" will not create these files.

However, the bottom part of this message is a duplicate of bug 88739.

Regards
