?The file name disappears!

This seems to happen with only specific(unrecognized?) extensions. For example, files for which are extensions are .deb, .htm etc, the name is retained.

Screenshot 2, when the folder is changed to ~/, the file name is gone!

I could not reproduce this. Maybe its triggered by an extension. Try to start firefox in -safe-mode from the command line like:

 firefox -safe-mode

Thanks,

The behaviour is the same even in safe mode.

One more thing I noticed is that if firefox doesn't have a previously downloaded location in it's memory, then the filename is retained.
By default the "Save Link As" download location is ~/

>Download any file by using 'save link as' into ~/Pictures (change directory from ~/ to ~/Pictures) <-- file name is retained. Now the "Save Link As" download location has been changed to ~/Pictures for any new files.
>Now try again. And change the directory back to ~/ . <-- File name is lost.
