There is another bug on Launchpad for the same issue on other software : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/304345
I confirm it's a big problem when you often use network shares. One can mount them permanently in fstab, of course, but it only works if this share is always up. In other contexts, like a home network or small organization (with a few standard PCs and no central serve), fstab is not adequate (mouting fails if the network share is not up at startup time) Another workaround I found is to use the software package gigolo : see http://www.borpin.co.uk/2011/03/29/map-network-drive-in-ubuntu-again/ If you put a bookmark on ~/.gvfs (as suggested above), it can help mounting shares automatically when a remote PC is up. I did not test it a lot, though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31471 Title: Firefox file selector should show remote shares Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Invalid Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Today I discovered that firefox can open files on remote shares (in this case a smb server) using nautilus. However, should be nice that the file selector in firefox could list those share, so things like uploads could be easier to do without copying file in local.
