Comment 1 David Anderson 2005-07-14 08:27:55 UTC
Me too. The three buttons at the bottom have no text, and pressing them does 
nothing. 

Comment 2 John Mahowald 2005-07-22 17:37:46 UTC
Works for me with firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4. Update firefox and see if it presists.

Comment 3 David Anderson 2005-07-25 14:55:18 UTC
No, still not working with firefox-1.0.6-1.1.fc4. 

Comment 4 axgrau 2005-07-25 19:20:49 UTC
Same here. Still not working.

Comment 5 David Anderson 2005-07-25 19:31:12 UTC
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? 

Comment 6 axgrau 2005-07-26 06:55:45 UTC
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.

Comment 7 Peter Wainwright 2005-08-02 07:10:40 UTC
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:

Comment 8 Peter Wainwright 2005-08-02 07:25:10 UTC
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.


Comment 9 David Anderson 2005-08-06 13:00:51 UTC
Same here as #7, #8 - unsetting LANG (from en_GB.UTF-8) both makes the 
dialogue work, and prevents the JavaScript console error. 

Comment 10 Peter Wainwright 2005-08-08 14:27:25 UTC
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:

The "button-*-gnome" settings are required.

This problem afflicts the plugin finder dialog too.

Comment 13 Christian Iseli 2007-01-22 10:13:43 UTC
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.

Comment 14 Kevin R. Page 2007-01-22 23:23:46 UTC
I'm no longer experiencing this problem: firefox-1.5.0.9-1.fc6
LANG=en_GB
