Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
There is a dissimilarity between the Ubuntu (and Debian) versions of Firefox (IceWeasel) and the original Mozilla binary. Symptom: There is a map service at http://80.248.160.121/vakkasuomi.paikkatietopalvelu/ The page generates only a failure message in Finnish. The page cannot be opened with Firefox versions packaged with Feisty or Egdy. This has been tested with running LiveCD-versions (Feisty, Edgy) and desktop installations (Feisty). The version used in desktop testing is 2.0.0.5 The odd thing is that the service on the page mentioned above works with the Firefox 2.0.0.5 binary downloaded from the Mozilla pages on the same platform where the Ubuntu version does not work. This has been tested in Feisty. I tested I tested with Debian 40r0, too: it does not work. The problem is not Java related. Some functionalities of the service require Java but the map view should open even if Java is not installed. When trying to open with Feisty or Edgy the contents of the page is not opened enough to launch a Java console that pops up OK on other occasions. This problem seems to be inexistent in RPM-based distributions: everyone I asked says the page is working. The page also works with Gutsy test version and Dapper. It seems there is something both in Ubuntu and Debian FF packages that differs from the Mozilla binaries in such a way that the map service (link above) does not work. My concern is to get this public service usable for Ubuntu users. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox differs from Mozilla version in Feisty, Edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129631 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
