Binary package hint: firefox

Fore fox and Thunderbird along with lots of non standard gnome applications can't save files over the network because the save dialog doesn't show the network shares as they are in Places if you have a samba share mounted. The workaround is to go through the hidden .gvfs folder (Ctrl+H) in your home folder to save the file.
