Title:
  "Print to file" silently fails

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  New
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Not sure what package this bug should be filed against, but I observed
  the following behaviour on my trusty box.

  Open a page in firefox for example or some other document you'd like
  to print to a PDF.  Ctrl+P to print. Select "Print to file".  Navigate
  to the place you would to save to, let's say this was "/tmp/" for
  simplicity of demonstartion.  Make sure there is a directory called
  /tmp/test.pdf (I know this is silly, but it actually happens quite
  often accidentally by how selecting a folder and file name are
  presented in these dialogs).  Save the file now as test.pdf.  You
  should receive a warning now that /tmp/test.pdf already exists (the
  directory) and whether you want to overwrite it. Choose Yes.  You'd
  expect the file to be created now, but actually that is not the case.
