Hi, > Is this crash reproducible? If so, which are the steps that lead to it?
It is not a crash. Everything behaves as if the size of the downloaded file would be always 129K, whatever file you download. It is perfectly reproducible. I did not notice this problem before. It seems to have appeared after some automated updates these last days. Now, almost 100% of the downloads fail. When it works, it is so rare that I was unfortunately not able to find out the reason. The steps are : * Download a file by clicking on a downloadable link (7z, zip, tgz, avi, every type of file triggers the bug). * Choose the directory where you want to save the file (while doing this, firefox starts already to download the file by anticipation according to the blinking of my router leds) * In the download manager, either the anticipated download already reached 129K and it reports that the file has successfully been downloaded, which is not the case when opening the file (data corruption) or it displays a progress bar and suddenly stops downloading at 129K reporting that everything went flawlessly which is obviously not the case. I tried "strace -f -o debug.out firefox" with no luck : nothing interesting in the messages. I suspect something linked with this anticipated download mechanism which seems to be new in firefox 3. Is there a way to disable it ? > Is your system x86 or x86_64? x86 > Which flash package do you have installed? r124 > Which Java package do you have installed? no java > Which Firefox extensions do you have installed? no extension Thanks, Jacques -- firefox 3 on ubuntu hardy : downloading is impossible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
