[Alliz-gub <78435@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Still present in firefox 8.

A filename starting with a dot (.mozconfig) means the file is "hidden" in unix life (will not show by default).
So adding something before the dot will not make it hidden anymore.
But it's not the problem here and what's the current behavior?

my.documents.tar becoming my-1.documents.tar is not that bad.
or maybe we can make an exception for *.tar.{bz2, gz, ...}

Title:
  temporary filenames should handle multiple extensions (.tar.gz)

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Confirmed
Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird

  When opening a file named foo.bar, the file is downloaded to /tmp. If
  the file is opened again in a short time, the file is again downloaded
  to /tmp but renamed foo-1.bar.

  If the file has a double extension (for example, opening a foo.tar.gz
  file with ark), the file is renamed as foo.tar-1.gz and thus ark is
  not able to open it properly. It should be foo-1.tar.gz instead.
