Title:
  error saving links/files with hebrew names

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:

Status in firefox-3.0 package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

  when i start FF3 with English locale and then try to save a file (attachment) from google's gmail inbox
  FF saves the Hebrew filename with wrong encoding (i guess) on the file system. seems like 8859-8 ???
  and i am unable to open the file (later) with any application.

  if i change the locale to Hebrew (UTF8) and only then, open FF and save the link (file) it all works fine.
  i get an Hebrew filename on the Desktop that i can open with any application.
  and i can also open it with the associated mime type application 
  (suppose the attached file in my gmail's inbox was an OpenOffice document, with Hebrew filename)
