I noticed a problem last night. 
With FF configured to ask where to save files rather than always in home:
Go to download a file ... any file
click save,
click save as
when save prompt opens select the other location
click create new folder (to save the file in a new folder)

FF crashes shortly after!! 

If I create the folder first in nautilus I can save the file to the
folder - or any other one for that matter - its just when creating a
new folder...

Anyone else experienced this? Ill play around with it some more
tonight and file a bug if I cant find the problem
