Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Firefox, Shiretoko, Google Chrome browsers freezes when I click on "open file" "upload file" "browse" buttons on various webpages if the last used directory contains a named pipe file (fifo).
How to reproduce:
- create a fifo file in any directory (mkfifo new.fifo )
- login gmail or any other webmail program
- try to attach any file from the directory where the fifo was created.
---> the open file dialog window freezes forever.
Workarounds:
- delete the fifo
- write someting into the fifo file from terminal (echo Start > new.fifo)
