firefox, right click, save as, does nothing. No response.
Hi, I'm running Mandriva 2010.1-x86_64 (cooker) For the most part.
Firefox 3.6.3, kde4.4.3, Firefox plugins: noscript1.9.9.96 and HTTPS-Everywhere0.1.2. I usually have the Klipper tool disabled, I rarely require that level of copy/paste history functionality. Anyone else have a similar setup with similar results. I could install another browser, But that is not my intention. Any advise along these lines would be greatly appreciated. Regards Glenn ps. No such problem using konqueror as the browser. |
I have seen this due to Konqueror saving to default directory and Firefox saving to a directory FF does not have permission to enter.

Ahh, you gave me an idea, I started firefox from Konsole, and there is an error message,
Code:
glenn@GamesBox:~$ firefox (24-06 23:46) I looked in to the advise you gave, but I could not see the setting for the default download directory. The permissions on the downloads folder have not changed for some time. It was while I was looking for that that I remembered a good debugger for gui apps is to launch them from a cli. I'll get back with the results asap. cheers, Glenn |
OK, seems somehow, when installing task-kde4, task-kde4-minimal
the i586 (32bit) version of the package was installed. I had to force the removal of kmozillahelper along with the kde4 "task" (meta) Packages. Then I (re)installed kmozillahelper (64bit) and the task packages for kde4. And now it works. This problem is SOLVED. Thank you very much for your response. Cheers and Regards Glenn |
Glenn, don't forget to drop a bug report on your issue so the same thing does not happen when the final comes out . . .
|
kde or mandriva?
I'll do both, thanks for the reminder. Regards Glenn |
