Bad gnome vfs support

[Patrice Vetsel]

Binary package hint: firefox

Under Gutsy.
Use nautilus and browse samba shares.
Add share to Desktop using right click on share (Public on screenshot)

Using gedit the "Save as" dialog offer "Public" -> Good
Doing the same with Firefox don't offer "Public"

LATEST PACKAGE TESTED:
Firefox 3.0.10 on Jaunty

Also found this bug annoying in everyday use.

Hello. We are using firefox-2 on a large LTSP enterprise desktop roll-out and this bug is still there in Hardy. I have tested Debian unstable and the bug is not there so it's probably related to the way the firefox-2-gnome-support package is being built.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

is anyone still seeing this on firefox-3.0 in hardy or above?

@GaryProsser (Bug #372238)

Do you currently have Hardy installed as well as Jaunty and Intrepid or did you upgrade your system and just remember the old behavior of Firefox?

[GaryProsser (gary-prosser)]

on one machine I have Hardy - with FF 3.0.10. On this machine I have samba/windows shares visible in Places pane of FF File Open dialog.

On a second machine - this was Hardy upgraded to Ibex upgraded to Jaunty with FF 3.0.10 - no shares visible in Places pane of FF File Open dialog.

On second machine if I navigate (in File Open dialog) to /home/prosserg then .gvfs I can then see shares.

Same here on a VM (VirtualBox 3.1.6 - Windows host) with Lucid and Firefox 3.6.3
I can access the share in .gvfs folder but can't see it in the folder view.

See attached screenshot.

BTW: Google Chrome (5.0.375.38 beta) shows the same behaviour.
