Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, we are not able to fix and find the bug because your description of the bug didn't have enough information in it. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively", http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

I have to admit that this bug does not occur with all files. It does not occur when you directly click on a link of a file (such as in a directory). It does, however, occur when I want to download files from my Yahoo E-mail account. See attached slides for screenshots.

I have the problem too. I tested about permissions, but it's not the problem. The problem is with Firefox. I tested with other browser, such Epiphany, and it was ok.

The problem: cannot save when i put the ftp address directly in the browser, such http://www.lidec.futuro.usp.br/envio/animagimp.pdf

Cannot save as well when I try to save files from e-mails, for example Gmail.

The problem does not occur when I firstly open the file with other program, such adobe reader, and then save the file.

Also, the problem does not occur when I save in my home directory. The problem is for FAT particion.

I hope this way you have enough information.
