I have 3 PCs running Hardy, Karmic, and Fedora 12, with Firefox on
each of them: v. 3.0.18 on Hardy and v. 3.5.8 on both Karmic and
Fedora.

I created "shared" profile on each system and synchronize them using
Unison. Ubuntu 8.04 is a base system for synchronization.

The synchronization itself works just fine on all 3 systems. No
problems what's ever on either of Ubuntu's.

In Fedora however I'm having a problem. While using "shared" profile
I can save neither a web page nor a download (unless I use some of
add-on' as described below).

If either Save Page As... or Save Link As... menu items are selected
the requests are simply ignored with no response from FF. However
using Download Them All ad-on does the job. Equally Scrapbook add-on
allows me to save/capture pages.

The default profile works as expected.

I thought SELinux is on the way but disabling it (for a test sake)
did not changed things. All permissions in "shared" profile directory
to me look OK.

I'm new to Fedora and cannot figure it out myself, need you help,
folks.

Thanks.


Since I had no replies here I tried to find some help on forums. A
fellow asked me a question that helped me to see were I was unclear in
my original post here. So, here some clarification.

I did not synchronize any of application files between different
distro's. By stating:"I created "shared" profile on each system and
synchronized them using Unison", I meant the following.

I created new user profiles in Firefox and named them "shared" on all
of my 3 systems. The name could be any other, the goal was to keep
the user profile names equal on each system in order to simplify
Unison configuration files.

The Fedora Firefox profile synchronized the way I described is fully
functional except the little problem described. I actually would
rather call it a minor annoyance (since I use for save/download
add-on's anyway) if not my wish to learn something new about Fedora,
and, I still suspect, SELinux.



For troubleshooting....

You may confirm you subscription by running seaudit. When access is

^suspicion
denied the occurrence is recorded in the audit log.

Your other choice is to place selinux in permissive mode. In that
case, warnings will be recorded but the action will not be denied.

Thanks, I'll try this.
