Clicking "OK" shows the progress bar for a moment, but no file "mozilla.pdf" is created anywhere. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. File/Print 2. "Print to File" 3. OK Actual Results: nothing Expected Results: pdf file created Printing to pdf works if the target directory is chosen manually ("Save in folder"/"Other..."), even if I pick my home directory again. Merely changing the filename doesn't affect the bug. This bug is quite annoying since printing to the home directory requires considerably more mouse navigation and clicking. I'm not sure if this really is a Firefox bug: I recall that this bug did not occur with openSUSE 12.2 and Firefox 22, but it did occur with openSUSE 12.3 and Firefox 22 (and above). Maybe there is some file picking library which is used by Firefox and which got broken between openSUSE versions ..? Thunderbird is suffering the same issue (also beginning with openSUSE 12.3). While researching the net I stumbled over <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/415023> ("Print to file fails silently when permission denied"). To check if Firefox attempts to print to the wrong directory, I reproduced the bug with root privileges, but there wasn't a "mozilla.pdf" anywhere in the file system afterwards. So that bug is apparently not causing the problem reported here. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
