Package: iceweasel Version: 43.0.2-1+b1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I upgraded my testing box last Friday (2016-01-08) and this upgraded Iceweasel to 43.0.2. Since next Monday Iceweasel stopped downloading files despite there were no significant changes on the machine in the 2 days span. Presently, out of the 2 usual users of this machine, only one of them is able to download files using Iceweasel. The bug does not (yet :-/) shows on my laptop also (running testing too). For those reasons, I suspected a profile problem and created a brand new user on the machine (the one from which I report this bug) to investigate this problem. I ran Iceweasel, pointed it to some PDF, LibreOffice of even .dsc file (on the Debian site) URLs. PDF files are first previewed in Iceweasel, which is expected (and reveals that this is not a network related problem), but when I try to download them (in order to save them locally) with the button at the top right of the previewer, the toolbar big blue pointing down arrow sort of animates itself but nothing is downloaded and displaying the download list exhibits "Échec" for the files (which means /failure/ in French). When I click on links pointing to LibreOffice or .dsc files the big blue arrow /animates/ too and the word 'Échec' shows in the download list again. I checked and changed the configured download directory without any success. I try changing Iceweasel preferences for PDF file handling to "Always ask" with no success: the dialog does not even show, only the big blue arrow animates and still the word "Échec"... which seems to eliminate a directory permission problem, except maybe on some cache folder (where?). I *can* write to /tmp, by the way. Please note that on my regular account where I have the DownThemAll extension, I work around this bug using this extension. Maybe this shall be useful for you. What puzzles me more is that the other regular account on the computer does not (yet) have this problem. Just to make it clear: - I checked that the mime type was correctly set (e.g. application/pdf) - I checked (using an apache instance the logs of which I can check) the file is really transmitted. If the Content-Disposition is "inline", then the PDF is previewed, if Content-Disposition is "attachment" the download fails - for those file type for which there is no preview in Iceweasel, the download fails. - I just made a new try with a second brand new user account created on the box. Thanks in advance, phep -- Package-specific info: -- Extensions information Name: Default theme Location: /usr/lib/iceweasel/browser/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} Package: iceweasel Status: enabled Name: Français Language Pack locale Location: /usr/lib/iceweasel/browser/extensions/langpack...@iceweasel.mozilla.org.xpi Package: iceweasel-l10n-fr Status: enabled -- Plugins information Name: DjView-4.10.4 Location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/nsdejavu.so Package: djview-plugin Status: enabled Name: Gnome Shell Integration Location: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libgnome-shell-browser-plugin.so Package: gnome-shell Status: enabled Name: Shockwave Flash (11.2.202.559) Location: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so Status: enabled -- Addons package information ii djview-plugin 4.10.4-1 amd64 Browser plugin for the DjVu image ii gnome-shell 3.18.1-1 amd64 graphical shell for the GNOME des ii iceweasel 43.0.2-1+b1 amd64 Web browser based on Firefox ii iceweasel-l10n 1:43.0.2-1 all French language package for Icewe -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing-proposed-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 4.5.1 ii fontconfig 2.11.0-6.3 ii libasound2 1.0.29-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.18.0-1 ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libcairo2 1.14.4-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.10.6-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.102-1 ii libevent-2.0-5 2.0.21-stable-2+b1 ii libffi6 3.2.1-4 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-6.3 ii libfreetype6 2.6.1-0.1 ii libgcc1 1:5.3.1-5 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.46.2-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.29-1 ii libhunspell-1.3-0 1.3.3-3+b2 ii libnspr4 2:4.11-1 ii libnss3 2:3.21-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.38.1-1 ii libsqlite3-0 3.9.2-1 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-4 ii libstdc++6 5.3.1-5 ii libvpx3 1.5.0-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-1 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-2+b1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.1-2+b2 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.9-2 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii procps 2:3.3.11-3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b1 Versions of packages iceweasel recommends: ii gstreamer1.0-libav 1.6.2-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.6.2-1+b1 Versions of packages iceweasel suggests: ii fonts-lmodern 2.004.5-1 ii fonts-stix [otf-stix] 1.1.1-4 ii libcanberra0 0.30-2.1 ii libgnomeui-0 2.24.5-3 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.13.2+dfsg-4 pn mozplugger <none> -- no debconf information
