Title:
firefox filechooser doesn't display all nautilus bookmarks
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When you use File|Open File or File|Save Page As in Firefox, you get a
gtk filechooser window. There are a series of bookmarks on the left
that are shared by Nautilus and other filechoosers within the desktop.
At first glance, everything looks ok, but missing among the bookmarks
are the Network (gvfs) shares.
Network shares show up at least two different ways in Nautilus. When
you mount a network share, a link will show up under the Network pane
that allows you to quickly browse to it. You can also make an explicit
bookmark to a network share that will show up under the Bookmarks
pane. Neither of these show up in the Firefox filechooser.
You can browse directly to a mounted network share by
1) showing hidden files
2) going to the .gvfs directory
3) and clicking on the mounted file share
From a usability perspective, this is obviously not desirable. There
are various workarounds, but it would be best if the filechooser could
handle the bookmarks in the same way as Nautilus for UI consistency.
There is also no way to mount an unmounted network share from within
the filechooser.
I know part of the reason is because Firefox uses gtkfilechooser, and
Nautilus uses gnomefilechooser, but it seems like something that the
firefox-gnome-support package should be able to handle.
