Description Laurence Gonsalves 2003-11-01 20:34:02 UTC 
If you try to download a file (ie: shift-click on a link or select "Save"
from the "What do you want to do" dialog) and then you try to save into a
directory that you don't have permissions to write to, the save dialog
disappears as usual, and no warning or error appears. Of course, the file
never actually gets written.

It would be nice if an error message appeared. It would be even better if
it gave me to opportunity to retry possibly with an alternate location.
