Yes. Firefox 1.5 doesn't segfault any more, which is great.
Firefox 1.5 just silently ignores preference changes, which is not
all that great, but still better than a segfault :)
And here is the detailed report:
First I verified that the filesystem is full:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/deldir$ touch 7
touch: cannot touch `7': No space left on device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/deldir$ echo > a
bash: echo: write error: No space left on device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/deldir$ df -B1
Filesystem 1B-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/userhome 1056858112 1056858112 0 100% /home/user
Then I ran Firefox 1.5:
dpkg -l firefox | grep ii
ii firefox 1.5.dfsg-4 ightweight web browser based on Mozilla
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/deldir$ firefox
and firefox came up without segfaulting.
I then called up Edit->Preferences and the preferences dialog came up
fine. No error, no segfault.
I then edited the home page, overwriting it with a longer string
("http://www.cnn.com/"; instead of "about:blank"). No error, no
segfault.
Clicked on the "Close" button to close the preferences dialog. No
error, no segfault.
I then quit (File->Quit) firefox. No error, no segfault.
I then started firefox again. Called up the preferences.
Firefox still showed the old "about:blank" home page.
So it seems that FF now cleanly handles the out-of-space problem, it
just fails to notify the user of the problem.
