[Bug 295296] Re: "Save Page As..." doesn't work - uncaught exception

[Night Eagle]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  When I attempt to save a web page to my disk via "Save Page As..."  nothing happens.    
  No file dialog pops up to save.
  I  can view source and that seems normal.
  
  Also applies to "Save link as"
  
  Error console reports the following:
  Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDownloadManager.userDownloadsDirectory]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/contentAreaUtils.js :: getTargetFile :: line 439"  data: no]

+ Update:
+ Based on the exception message,  I looked at configured download folder and found that folder no longer existed on my system.  Reconfiguring that folder to be an existing folder corrected the problem.  So bug is that "save" triggers an unhandled exception when downloads folder does not exist,  even in case when user should be prompted for folder.  (download folder is not relevant).
