Firefox Save Dialog Create Folder Image

#1 13th October 2004, 08:09 AM

Does anyone else see a problem with the Create New Forlder image on the save dialog in firefox? I am using firefox-0.9.3-0.fdr.4. I think I noticed this problem in other rpm versions of firefox.

Hey yeah! Now that you mentioned it, I noticed it as well. So you are guessing its a rpm packaging problem? Have you tried with the normal firefox-installer?

No I haven't tried it from the default mozilla tarbal installer yet. I know imdeemvp and other install from source, so I will just ask them. Looks like its time to file another bug report.

Alright then, let me know what others have mentioned.

I noticed this bug in both various rpm packages and the normal installer, however it is fixed in 0.10PR.

I'm currently using Dag Wieers' rpm (firefox-0.10-0.1.fc2.dag) with the 0.10.1 Security Update (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=138771). I found I had to run firefox as root to install this patch.

Edit: see this bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256843.

Is that packages from Dag a stable release becuase it hasn't yet hit my update. when was it released? DO you have any of these problems?

Well I gues someone beat me to the bug report. Now if the packagers can produce a bug free rpm everything would be great.

I installed it Sept 24th, but it seems he's now withdrawn the 0.10 rpm.

1) Shift+Insert works fine
2) Preferences save fine
3) "find as you type" is now an option in preferences>advanced
4) arrow keys work fine
5) I don't use gaim, but have written my own script to launch urls from various applications in new tabs.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# script to launch url in or existing or new instance of firefox
 
MXC=/usr/lib/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client
FIREFOX=/usr/bin/firefox
 
if [ "$1" == "-sametab" ]
then
        shift
        $MXC "openURL($@)" || $FIREFOX $@ &
else
        $MXC "openURL($@,new-tab)" || $FIREFOX $@ &
fi

Try running firefox as root once immediately after installation before running as a normal user. And of course try mv ~/.mozilla ~/old.mozilla.
