Bug Description

version
firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.9-0ubuntu0.6.06.1

Firefox browser shows no warning or alert if someone tries to print-to-file and the write fails.

To reproduce;

Go to any page online.
Go up to File in the menu bar. Select Print.
In the printer box, there should be a checkbox that says "Print to file", check it.
Click the Print button
Give the file any name (e.g foo.ps)
Browse to a folder you do not have write permissions on such as /root or /etc
Click "save"
Progress bar will start and end by but no file is written and no warning/error is given.

Upstream firefox? Otherwise, 2.0.0.3 is still the future :)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
