I’ve now reported this to Mozilla and linked to it. Thanks, Olivier!

(My) original report on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1820514
Any page under https://forums.tomshardware.com/ seems to trigger this, but I have yet to come across other sites that do. Pages can even be saved from the main Tom’s Hardware domain (https://www.tomshardware.com/) without issues.
A workaround discovered by Olivier Tilloy: clicking retry in the download manager completes the save.
Steps to reproduce:
Actual results:
There’s no copy of the page in the target directory. Going to about:downloads reveals that the download has failed, without further details.
Expected results:
For the directory to contain a downloaded copy of the page.
Tested all combinations of both (Ctrl-s/context menu in safe mode and normal mode), all with the same results. Could this be locale-dependent? The UI is in English in safe mode though, so I’m guessing safe mode should be locale-independent, as I’m on fi_FI.UTF-8 otherwise.
And just to clarify: my testing of Bionic was on real hardware as well, and I ran these latest tests on Cosmic on another computer (real hardware).
== Steps to reproduce ==
1. Open https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/what-is-the-actually-difference-between-udimm-and-dimm.1575984/
2. Right-click and select ’Save page as’. Point the dialog to your directory of choice.
== What I expect to happen ==
For the directory to contain a downloaded copy of the page.

== Other info ==
I’m reporting this from up-to-date Disco, albeit with a 4.* kernel (as gdm currently fails to start in my VirtualBox VM with 5.*) but it’s equally reproducible in Bionic.
