Some applications installs .desktop files with mime types and an Exec line which contains options. For example, nautilus-cd-burner installs /usr/share/applications/nautilus-cd-burner-open-iso.desktop, which contains: MimeType=application/x-cd-image; Exec=nautilus-cd-burner --source-iso=%f Firefox picks this up, so that when Firefox gets an ISO file, it presents a dialog which allows the user to open the ISO file with Nautilus. However, the *first* time after starting Firefox, it calls the external application with the file as the first argument, without options: astrand 32016 2.2 3.3 107640 34532 pts/10 S 14:33 0:00 /usr/bin/nautilus-cd-burner /tmp/tl-1.6.0-clientcd.iso In this case, the applications gives an error. If you try again, the application is called correctly: astrand 32030 3.5 3.3 107604 34268 pts/10 S 14:33 0:00 nautilus-cd-burner --source-iso=/tmp/tl-1.6.0-clientcd-1.iso and things works as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-2.0.0.4-2.fc7 as well as firefox-1.5.0.12-1.fc6. I've verified the problem both on FC6 and F7. How reproducible: Start Firefox. Go to http://www.cendio.com/downloads/clients and click on "Client CD".
At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test Firefox 3, available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html or now shipping as the default in Fedora rawhide and provide feedback as to whether it still exists so we can file a ticket upstream to try to fix it in Firefox 3 before it is released.
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. [This is a mass-closing request, if you think that this bug shouldn't be closed, please, reopen with additional information.]
