[Bug 247108] www/firefox: consistently chooses wrong applications to open files
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247108 Bug ID: 247108 Summary: www/firefox: consistently chooses wrong applications to open files Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: ge...@freebsd.org Reporter: tcber...@freebsd.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(ge...@freebsd.org) Assignee: ge...@freebsd.org Moin moin This has been annyoing me for years now. I use firefox as Browsre in KDE Plasma. Firefox consistently uses wrong applications to open files. I can configure them in firefox settings dialog; say "pdf -> okular", "xls->libreoffice". I can, but it just has no effect. Assuming the last opened file from firefox used 'libreoffice', the next time any download will just suggest to use "libreoffice". No matter its type. Assuming it was a PDF, I silently curse, and chose "okular" from the dropdown. Great. Now firefox just assumes I want to open all the following files in okular. I have this behaviour on all my systems, FreeBSD 12/13, FF up to date. mfg Tobias -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ freebsd-gecko@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-gecko To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-gecko-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

[Bug 247108] www/firefox: consistently chooses wrong applications to open files
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247108 Chris Hutchinson changed: What|Removed |Added CC||portmas...@bsdforge.com --- Comment #1 from Chris Hutchinson --- I can confirm that this is also true in GTK based DEs as well. It appears that FF will only use, or offer to use applications chosen by the DE for "preferred" applications to deal with content. While FF indicated you can "make this change permanent" in FF "preferences". It has little, if any effect. As a result, I'm forced to right-click > save-as in FF, to ever open content with my *chosen* application. --Chris -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. ___ freebsd-gecko@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-gecko To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-gecko-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
maintainer-feedback requested: [Bug 247118] mark www/firefox broken on powerpc64-12
Bugzilla Automation has asked freebsd-gecko mailing list for maintainer-feedback: Bug 247118: mark www/firefox broken on powerpc64-12 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=247118 --- Description --- The good news is that even without patches, Firefox now builds on powerpc64-13. The bad news is that it does not on powerpc64-12. The worse news is that even though the error mentioned in this patch can actually be fixed by some further work (patch on request), it is still insufficient. That underlying failure is the following: /usr/local/bin/ld: cannot find -lc++ and that flag is provided from somewhere deep in the Rust build glue. IMHO this is not worth chasing down. ___ freebsd-gecko@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-gecko To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-gecko-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
