### Background
Platform: Win XP Pro
Version: |
Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6)
Gecko/20050225
Firefox/1.0.1
### Problem
When saving a local copy of an HTML file using
Firefox, 'windows shortcuts' do not work properly
when clicked or selected in the 'Save As' dialog
box.
### Details
step1: create arbitrary directory (such as c:/foobar)
step2: create a 'shortcut' to that directory on the
desktop.
step3: navigate to arbitrary web page and choose
file->save page as ...
step4: firefox opens the 'save as' dialog box
step5: using the 'save as' dialog box, go to your
windows desktop and click on the shortcut
you created in step2.
### Apparent Bug
Actual Behavior: After step5, a warning message displays
saying that 'foobar.lnk' already exists, do you want
to overwrite it?
Expected Behavior: After step5 the Save As dialog box is
supposed to navigate to the 'target folder' of the
windows shortcut, and give the user a chance to save
the file in that directory.
### Question
Can someone else confirm this bug and / or offer a fix
or workaround or suggestion?
