epiphany-browser says it is Firefox via ssh URI

[Ryan Lovett]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

When I clicked on an ssh:// URI, epiphany-browser opens a window with the message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (ssh) isn't associated with any program." I'll attach the screenshot.

The error dialog.

The browser, not the game.

[Áron Sisak (asisak)]

Both browsers are based partly on the firefox libraries, i.e., both build-depend on firefox-dev, the error message in question can be found in firefox.

Please report, if it should be still considered as a bug.

Reassigning to mozillateam to figure out what is going on. I will ping Alexander about this see what he thinks.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago. Can I close this bug ?

[Ryan Lovett (ryan-spacecoaster)]

Please keep the bug open since this hasn't been fixed. The bug also applies to epiphany-browser.

galeon isn't supported anymore because development has stalled. Other
options include epiphany-browser, kazehakase, firefox etc.

As I said in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/galeon/+bug/48617/comments/6, this also affects epiphany-browser. Do I need to refile this under epiphany-browser? launchpad shows epiphany-browser at the top of this page.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

[Ryan Lovett (ryan-spacecoaster)]

Still there.

OK, I am changing the status for epiphany from Incomplete back to New so that the bug won't expire.

This bug seems to be fixed. But I would like someone else to *really* test it on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex as well, so that it's not just me. :)
