[Desktop-packages] [Bug 18995]
(In reply to Mathieu Comandon from comment #62) (In reply to David Bruant from comment #60) (In reply to Mathieu Comandon from comment #59) Willing to pay $150 to whoever fixes this issue. (or give it to the Mozilla foundation, whatever you prefer). Within which timeframe? ;-) Before end of April 2014. I'll give $200 if the bug is released with the firefox version shipped with Ubuntu 14.04 and $150 if the bugfix is still in Nightly by then. Already July 2014. Bug still in Firefox. -- 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/18995 Title: [MASTER] Open With dialog not user-friendly Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “mozilla-thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When choosing to open a file in Firefox, an Open With dialog appears.

(In reply to Michel Loiseleur from comment #8) Created attachment 373282 Removes file association mechanism of firefox and use xdg-open instead Hi, I've made a small patch in order to progress on this issue. It removes Firefox file system associations and forces use of xdg-open. I do not think this patch is complete since it's not cross-platform, but I really think it's a good step in order to solve this problem. There's already a file association mechanism on a Linux Desktop environments (Gnome, Kde, Xfce, Lxde, etc, etc). xdg-open is a simple way to use it. It simplifies lifes of users, which do not have to choose their preferred software twice, it simplifies lifes of integrators, which do not have to choose the default for their distributions twice and it simplifies source code of Firefox : there's no more need to get a file association mechanism compatible with all Linux Desktop environment. I don't know who will be a good requestee to ask for a review of this patch, so I've left the field empty. Regards, Your patch only for nsHelperAppDlg.js. It's for dialog of opening file. But it does not remove Firefox file system associations. And it does not change it for xdg-open. I just patched nsHelperAppDlg.js in root omni.ja. -- 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/18995 Title: [MASTER] Open With dialog not user-friendly Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “mozilla-thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When choosing to open a file in Firefox, an Open With dialog appears.

(In reply to LAFK from comment #540) (In reply to Alexander Rødseth from comment #495) Josh Aas, which events should be let through, in order to not break a non-trivial number of existing plugin-based applications? It's a fairly minimal amount of key press events that are blocked in my Gtk2 patch (and as I understand, people want additional keys to go to Firefox, like Ctrl-F4 and Alt-D). Josh, Please kindly answer, or provide some information on which you base your comment #487 (especially This patch denies plugins many events that they have always received part), so that patch can be tweaked. If you have some tests/test that you base this of, please share. This patch do nothing with flash on many sites, but works on youtube. I tested it already. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to flashplugin-nonfree in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263435 Title: Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) when flash content is selected on page Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in “firefox-3.0” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree Firefox cannot close tab (using Ctrl-w) or switch to next tab (using Ctrl-Tab) when flash content is selected on page.
