Firefox changing hidden filenames

Is firefox changing the filename of this hidden file for anyone else? I tried in firefox 3, 4, and 6. They all got changed when I tried when I downloaded the file. Firefox removed the leading dot that makes the file be hidden.

How do you know it's not megaupload removing it?

I see what you mean. Firefox receives it as .bashrc1, but saves it as bashrc1.

Yep Smilie. I was trying to email it to myself since I didn't have a flash drive at the time I was transferring the file.
