Title:
  The Gtk file selector can silently overwite directories

Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Make a directory called /tmp/testdirectory
  2. Start Firefox and enable the Gtk file selector for downloads, i.e. "Edit > Preferences > General > Download" and click "Always as me where to save files"
  3. Navigate to a page where a file is available for download
  4. Attempt to save this file as /tmp/testdirectory

  Expected result: The file is not saved.

  Actually result: The directory /tmp/testdirectory (and any contents)
  are overwritten and silently replaced with the file.
