Re: [opensuse] OTN page kills firefox?
Just tried konqueror and works... last night it just said the address wasn't correct, even refused to connect to google, although i was connected trough gprs (gsm phone as a modem).
Tried again with firefox on my laptop at the office an it crashed again, just noticed it doesn't happen with zip files, only with the rpm ones.
That's because the default meta data for RPM as far as FF is concerned is for Realplayer files .. always has been. It's such a pain. You have to right click on the rpm file and do a save as.

No, it actually shouldn't .. it's probably a bad bit of site scripting along with FF's mishandling of the file. There is a way to change how FF handles files with .rpm extentions, but for the life of me I don't remember where it is or how to do it. Do a bit searching and you'll find it. cheers. -Ben -- "We should forgive our enemies. But not before they are hanged."

It's solved on 2.0.0.2 (repos.opensuse.org), now i see the behaviour reported by Kai. Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
