[Bug 231221] [NEW] Saving a file from Firefox to a gvfs resource fails silently

[Gavin Hamill]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Version: 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3

I have various gvfs resources mounted. Some smb:, and some sftp: .

When I right-click "Save Link As" and choose any "$resourcename on
$servername" mount, the save fails silently. Saving files to the local
filesystem works fine.

It fails with both the smb: and sftp: resources. It means I'm having to
save stuff to the desktop and copy it up. Very unprofessional. :(
