From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050524 Fedora/1.0.4-4 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: It's not possible to import bookmarks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.0.4-4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks 2.File->Import 3. Actual Results: The import wizard is unusable. There are three buttons at the bottom with no text and nothing happens by clicking them. Additional info:
Me too. The three buttons at the bottom have no text, and pressing them does nothing.
Works for me with firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4. Update firefox and see if it presists.
No, still not working with firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4.
Same here. Still not working.
I was using gtk-qt-engine at first, but that caused problems with openoffice. Now I'm using clearlooks GTK theme, so it doesn't seem to be caused by gtk-qt-engine, unless it's some side effect that still hangs around after disabling it. Are you using gtk-qt-engine, axgrau?
No, I am not using gtk-qt-engine. Never installed. I normally use KDE, but I have the same problem if I run Firefox in GNOME.
I've had the same problems, both with 1.0.4 and 1.0.6. However, it goes away if I unset the "LANG" environment variable before running firefox. This seems like the same bug Ubuntu users have reported, see: http://mpt.net.nz/archive/2005/04/11/ubuntu#firefox http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-22189.html
Sorry, I forgot some useful information: As you may guess from my email, I'm using the locale setting LANG=en_GB.UTF-8. When using this setting, I get the following in the JavaScript console when I pop up the "Import" dialog: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIStringBundle.GetStringFromName]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/wizard.xml :: _initWizardButton :: line 333" data: no] Like the Ubuntu users, I get 3 buttons with icons but no labels, the middle (back) button is greyed out, but none of them do anything when pressed.
Same here as #7, #8 - unsetting LANG (from en_GB.UTF-8) both makes the dialogue work, and prevents the JavaScript console error.
The problem seems to be some missing settings in the file locale/global/wizard.properties, which lives in the archive /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.6/chrome/en-GB.jar. Comparing this file with the en-US version shows: [prw@desdemona tmp]$ diff -u en-{GB,US}/locale/global/wizard.properties --- en-GB/locale/global/wizard.properties 2004-11-02 04:54:08.000000000 +0000 +++ en-US/locale/global/wizard.properties 2004-08-15 05:10:33.000000000 +0100 @@ -2,6 +2,10 @@ button-next=Next > button-finish=Finish button-cancel=Cancel +button-back-gnome=Back +button-next-gnome=Next +button-finish-gnome=Finish +button-cancel-gnome=Cancel default-first-title=Welcome to the %S default-last-title=Completing the %S default-first-title-mac=Introduction The "button-*-gnome" settings are required.
This problem afflicts the plugin finder dialog too.

This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
I'm no longer experiencing this problem: firefox-1.5.0.9-1.fc6 LANG=en_GB
