Bug Description
When using the saveas-dialog to download and overwrite my existing ".signature"-file (~/.thunderbird
- firefox asks me if I really want to overwrite the existing file -- as expected
- I answer OK/YES
- firefox deletes the existing file -- as could be expected
- firefox saves the downloaded file under a new name (without the leading dot)

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do and in which version of Ubuntu otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.
