I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.4 and I don't see any name change with it. I
did replicate the issue with Internet Explorer. I don't see that there
is anything that can be done about that other than possibly documenting
the issue. Most people who need a .gz file will be able to figure this
out or won't be using IE in the first place.
