[Bug 196202] Re: Places menu FTP servers open in firefox-3.0 instead of nautilus
I agree with Brett. I never got a dialog either. Steps to reproduce: 1. Fresh install of hardy in my case 2. Set up an ftp site using Places Connect to Server 3. Upgrade to Firefox 3.0 from beta 4. Observe no dialog. 5. Open up the FTP site that was set up in step 2. It opens in Firefox This bug shouldn't be invalid unless you can complete the steps above without seeing the dialog or you can complete the steps without Firefox stealing the default. On a side note, Firefox stealing the default for FTP, even if it asks if it wants to be the default browser, is confusing behavior when all you're doing is an upgrade through the update manager. I would never want firefox to be the default FTP handler, but I would definitely upgrade my browser if prompted to, and when asked if it should be default, I would even answer yes. Once it becomes the default FTP handler, there's no way to get it back to nautilus except through gconf. That is not good at all. -- Places menu FTP servers open in firefox-3.0 instead of nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've never seen that dialogue pop up. Firefox taking over the FTP handler sort of just happens.

Ok Who added ftp handler to gconf? im assuming who ever added it meant for it to work this way. But after talking to Alexander he doesnt know who added it to gconf that makes me think that wasnt a mozilla packaging error but would need to know what package added it there and who the person was.

[Bug 196202] Re: Places menu FTP servers open in firefox-3.0 instead of nautilus
Yes, I want Nautilus to just open FTP links. The gconf keys I mentioned above appeared at some point, and they were causing the unexpected behaviour. I am suggesting that some script included in the Firefox *packages*, not Firefox itself, caused those keys to be inserted. Again, I don't know enough about packaging to fix this myself, but I *do* know that packages include files besides the ones that are installed; that some of these files are scripts; and that those scripts are run when a package is installed or removed. As you say, Firefox, the browser, is doing what it is expected to do (when assigned as FTP URL handler). firefox-3.0, the package, version 3.0~b3~cvs20080101t1000+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~gutsy1, is NOT. ** Changed in: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- Places menu FTP servers open in firefox-3.0 instead of nautilus https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/196202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Confirmed (and marking as so). I was about to submit a duplicate until I found this. $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/ftp needs_terminal = false command = /usr/bin/firefox %s enabled = true Maybe this occurs after 'Preferred Applications Internet Web Browser' is set to Firefox? Did anyone else do this, even unknowingly? If so, Firefox should not be set for FTP accounts, or there should be a separate section for FTP under 'Preferred Applications Internet'. My suggestion, anyway. Workaround: Go to 'Places Home Folder', select 'Bookmarks' in Nautilus and select your FTP bookmark.
