Package: firefox Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-2 Severity: normal
Bugzilla report submitted - see reference <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349152";>349152</a> I have made some changes to a system-wide config file - nsFilePicker.js but this bug applies to any file within /usr/lib/firefox/components Whenever I update Firefox these files are overwritten and my changes lost - fair enough they are system-wide after all. To avoid this I have placed a copy of the file (including the changes) in my local ~/firefox/<profile>/components directory - as is the norm when making user specific config changes. This file should be detected and used overriding the system-wide ones but it is not. Thus each time I update Firefox I must make those changes again or copy a backup version of my changed file over the freshly installed one - this is not a good way to do things! NOTE The reason I am making the changes is to make firefox stop using it's own file/print dialogs and get it to use my preferred window manager ones (in my case the KDE dialogs). So what I am really after is a local config change that allows me to set which dialogs to use. Changing nsFilePicker.js is a workaround and I'm happy with it but the local copy being ignored is a pain as I have to repeat my changes each time I update Firefox (which is quite a bit when using sid!) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages firefox depends on: ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.3.2-7 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.1-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6-19 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.2-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.3.2-7 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-10 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.10.3-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.18-7 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libidl0 0.8.6-1 library for parsing CORBA IDL file ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-1+b1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.8rel-5.2 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-10 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.0-8 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-8 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxp6 1:1.0.0.xsf1-1 X Printing Extension (Xprint) clie ii libxt6 1:1.0.0-5 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime firefox recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
