Your referenced bug 49906 has nothing to do with my mentioned problem
with Firefox. You keep trying to re-direct my problem with Firefox as a
problem with some program that imports pictures from cameras.

As a test I've re-installed Ubuntu 7.10 on a machine and confirmed that
when a file is dragged and dropped from the Firefox window to a
directory in a Nautilus window the last modified time from the web site
is preserved. I then installed Firefox 3.0 on that Ubuntu 7.10 machine
and find that the last modified time stamp IS STILL PRESERVED in such a
drag and drop operation. Now I guess I'd have to see if they've
backported the version of Nautilus from Ubuntu 8.04 to 7.10 to see if
the time stamp preservation behavior is still preserved. Would that
indicate that the problem is not with Firefox?

And, please do not tell me this is something to do with camera photo
importing. I'm not using a camera, I'm not importing photos from a camera
