[Bug 187736] Re: Right click, "Save As" in firefox runs script instead of saving it
I wish to report a similar problem of the script opening rather than opening of the "save" dialog box.

[Bug 187736] Re: Right click, "Save As" in firefox runs script instead of saving it
Thank you for reporting back. Indeed, I can confirm this behaviour and I tend to agree that a script should not be automatically executed after "Save Link as". At least, the user is being asked, though, if the script should be run, so if anything this is a minor problem. ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Sourcepackagename: firefox => firefox-3.0 Importance: Undecided => Low Assignee: Rolf Leggewie (r0lf) => (unassigned) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Right click, "Save As" in firefox runs script instead of saving it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/187736 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry Rolf, That url appears on the following page: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2007/12/1-click-install-ubuntu-studio- theme-in.html I just clicked "copy link location" and pasted it. The issue I was having is that I couldn't look at what was being executed before executing it. On gutsy if I right click the one-click-install link as it appear in the above mentioned page, then click "Save link as", it runs the associated ubuntu program which attempts to install all the different parts. I don't know if it is a security threat, but it doesn't make sense to me to have it run a program when I try to save any content pointed to by the link. My guess is they got firefox to pass the apt:// urls to ubuntu to install the corresponding programs, instead of downloading the content and displaying it. But a "Save link As" will normally cause the browser to follow the link, and shoot the content to disk. I suppose when the browser goes to download the content in the first part of a "Save link As" operation, the download function defaults to invoking ubuntu to install the stuff instead. Whether or not I have a good grasp of whats happening, I don't believe this should be the default behavior.

Is that a clickable URL for you? Any extensions installed?
