Description P Wolf 2005-06-29 01:01:43 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
Firefox opens an .rpm as media file, when in fact it is RPM package!  See referenced URL to download Adobe Reader.  "Download" button runs javascript that directs browser to an URL ending in .rpm but there is no chance to save it before the tab changes to a big gray media player.  The media tab should "save-as" if the rpm file is not playable media.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-1.0.4-4

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to download Adobe Reader from the referenced URL
2.Select (rpm) package
3.Press Download
  

Actual Results:  Tab briefly showed web page saying something like "download is starting automatically", then turned all gray and seemed to be displaying a media player

Expected Results:  I wanted to download the RPM file; it is an installable package.

This is not firefox's fault.  .rpm is associated with Real Player due to MIME
type associations on the web server.
