[Bug 553020] New: Firefox 3.5.4, Preferences Dialog, Main tab, shows wrong Download Folder
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=553020 Summary: Firefox 3.5.4, Preferences Dialog, Main tab, shows wrong Download Folder Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: koen@phpcrm.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Created an attachment (id=325846) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=325846) Screenshot of the firefox preferences dialog showing download location User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.4 When opening the Firefox Preferences Dialog, Main Tab, it shows that Firefox default "Save files to" is set to the non-existing folder: "/home/myname/Downloads/" Thats wrong because the Downloads will be saved to "/home/myname/Download" without the "s" on the end. When trying to change the setting "Save files to" to the "Download" directory in home, it still shows that the folder is named "Downloads". When downloading something from the internet, the files will be put in the folder "/home/myname/Download", while the preferences dialog shows that the folder is named "Downloads" with the "s" on the end. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Preferences Dialog 2. Change the setting "Save file to:" to /home/myname/Download" with Browse button 3. Choose "Download" Folder, click "OK" button, and the wrong path is showing up. rpm -q MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox-3.5.4-1.1.2.x86_64 -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm pretty sure the default is "Download" for you because of XDG setup for your language. Firefox respects the XDG settings and saves to what is defined within XDG. So now if you choose Download (the xdg defined one) as download folder, Firefox recognizes that it actually is the default download folder set initially and sets a description "Downloads". So the string Downloads is not the actual name of the directory as it's predefined. That's not really a bug therefore and there is no easy way to synchronize the string in the UI with the actual path being used. If XDG wouldn't be used the both strings are the same what we make sure already but once it's using a localized name they can and in most cases will differ anyway. If you think it should really be improved we have to report that upstream but it might make more sense if you do it than having it proxied by me. Is it possible for you to report that in bugzilla.mozilla.org? If so, please let us know the bugnumber here. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am not sure if you understand what I trying to explain, let me try again: I forgot to tell that the default language I have used to install openSUSE 11.2 RC2 was English. openSUSE creates the following folder automaticly on install in the userhome directory : /home/myname/Download and not /home/myname/Downloads The bug I am refering to was the default openSUSE 11.2 RC2 settings on install, using the English language setting. Also to be sure, I have checked it out on a fresh install of openSUSE 11.2 RC2 which used the Dutch language settings. After installing there is a directory created in the home directory named: /home/myname/Downloads When I open the Firefox Preference Dialog, the path "Save Files to:" is set correctly to "Downloads" -> /home/myname/Downloads So it appears to happen only after installing openSUSE 11.2 RC2 using the English language setting, that there is a directory created named "/home/myname/Download", while Firefox is shows that the "Saved Files to:" directory is named "Downloads" -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
