[Bug 304813] [NEW] error saving links/files with hebrew names

[nadavkav]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

when i start FF3 with English locale and then try to save a file (attachment) from google's gmail inbox
FF saves the Hebrew filename with wrong encoding (i guess) on the file system. seems like 8859-8 ???
and i am unable to open the file (later) with any application.

if i change the locale to Hebrew (UTF8) and only then, open FF and save the link (file) it all works fine.
i get an Hebrew filename on the Desktop that i can open with any application.
and i can also open it with the associated mime type application 
(suppose the attached file in my gmail's inbox was an OpenOffice document, with Hebrew filename)
