** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
  
- Firefox and Thunderbird along with lots of non standard gnome
- applications can't save files over the network because the save dialog
- doesn't show the network shares as they are in Places if you have a
- samba share mounted. The workaround is to go through the hidden .gvfs
- folder (Ctrl+H) in your home folder to save the file.
