Title:
  firefox does not save an attachments starting with dot

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Fix Released
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I download & save a file and I change the name to start with a dot,
  it 0) prompts me to replace the existing dot file, if it exists, 1) removes 
the
  existing dot file, and 2) silently removes the dot  and saves it with the 
name.

  Example, someone mailed me a .bash_completion to replace an existing one,
  and it removed the existing but saved /home/me/bash_completion.

  I consider it  a bug to not save dot-files if I ask for it, or to not give a 
proper
  error message if it refuses. If upstream disagrees, it is at least a bug to 
  remove the existing dot-file if it refuses to save over it.
