no save dialog, tho' nothing like a complaint that it can't save. it acts in 
other words as if a good save except that nothing gets save, BUT if i look in 
the ff error console, i find:

	Error: null has no properties
	Source File: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/downloads.js
	Line: 545

also, when i did reinstall, i got the message:
