2006-10-22 15:05:06 Frode M. Døving description Having /usr hidden is not a nice thing to do to firefox users. In firefox, when you select what application you want to use to open a certain filetype, you'll have to browse to find the binary. With /usr hidden users get stuck and give up. To reproduce: Open firefox Edit -> Preferences -> Content -> File Types -> Manage -> Select a filetype -> Change action.. -> Open them with this application -> File system You will now see that only /home and /media is shown.

I am aware of the 'Type a filename' in the upper left corner. I don't think clicking that and typing the location is friendly to new users.
