Firefox & filenames with spaces

[noxxic]

Has anyone figured out how to fix the problem with downloading from certain sites (like Yahoo mail) where filenames with spaces are cut short? AFAIK, they are not willing to "fix" it since Firefox is just technically stricter in handling the filenames. I'm hoping someone has finally written an extension or something to work around it...

I haven't had any problems with stuff like this. Of course, I name my files properly too. 😛

It's not because of how a file is named, it's how a web app gives out the filename. I can give a file a simple "weekly report.doc" name and I would get "weekly" instead. I don't know the exact details, but the problem has to do with something like parsing the content-disposition header and how some sites don't quote the filename in it (something like that...). IE doesn't care about it, but Firefox does which causes the problem.

I haven't seen FF do that in a while.

If you happen to have Yahoo mail, try downloading an attachment.

Anyone have any ideas to fix it via an extension? I think the stuff to look at is at /browser/contentAreaUtils.js. I was thinking of replacing suggestedFileName(), but I can't figure out how to override it. If I can't, I guess I'll just modify it directly or copy & paste the whole thing...
