The file download dialog in Mozilla Firefox 0.10.1 and 1.0 for Windows uses the Content-Type HTTP header to determine the file type, but saves the original file extension when "Save to Disk" is selected, which allows remote attackers to hide the real file types of downloaded files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Windows Firefox issue could make a downloaded file look safer than it is. The dialog trusted the HTTP Content-Type for display, while saving the original extension. Business urgency is mainly for legacy endpoints still running Firefox 0.10.1 or 1.0. Exposure is likely limited to obsolete Windows systems running Mozilla Firefox 0.10.1 or 1.0. The provided sources do not identify other affected products, supported versions, or a CVSS score. Treat as a legacy hygiene issue unless affected Firefox versions still exist. If found, prioritize removal because the flaw can support deceptive downloads and user-driven compromise. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Firefox 0.10.1 and 1.0 on Windows.; Remove or upgrade any affected legacy Firefox installations.; Check Mozilla or vendor guidance for historical fix details..
