I always find it more reliable to render the svg inside the browser  
then control click the image and do a save as... This also gives the  
true file name and not its file system number.

Sometimes I still have a problem saving the SVG from its rendered page  
in Firefox.   It seems like there might be two competing interfaces  
going on here.  A work around I have found is to move the mouse around  
to different areas of the svg image.  Sometimes you get a different  
menu than in other parts of the page.

You also might want to try the latest version of Safari.  It has far  
better SVG support than Firefox 2 does now.

Hope that helps.
