To verify that this is not a ubuntu one specific issue I have uploaded a .bashrc to 3 random free file hosting sites.
http://www.mediafire.com/?njnywyh5jox http://www.filedropper.com/bashrc_1 http://rapidshare.com/files/385623472/.bashrc.html When downloading these files with Firefox or Chromium, the file is saved as "bashrc". When downloading these same files with Opera, the file is saved correctly as ".bashrc" The symptoms do not change if I change the directory where the file is saved In both firefox & chromium the "save as" dialogue shows ".bashrc" but the file is actually saved as "bashrc". If the file ".bashrc" already exists, the original ".bashrc" is deleted & the downloaded file is saved as "bashrc". if the file ".bashrc" does not exist in the directory you are downloading it to the file is still saved as "bashrc" instead of ".bashrc". $apt-cache policy firefox chromium-browser ubuntuone-client opera firefox: Installed: 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status chromium-browser: Installed: 6.0.400.0~svn20100510r46805-0ubuntu1~ucd1 Candidate: 6.0.400.0~svn20100510r46805-0ubuntu1~ucd1 Version table: *** 6.0.400.0~svn20100510r46805-0ubuntu1~ucd1 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 5.0.342.9~r43360-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages ubuntuone-client: Installed: 1.2.1-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 1.2.1-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1.2.1-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1.2.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages opera: Installed: 10.10.4742.gcc4.qt3 $ apt-cache policy xulrunner-1.9.2 xulrunner-1.9.2: Installed: 1.9.2.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 1.9.2.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1.9.2.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status xulrunner-1.9.1 is not installed in Lucid $lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
