Hi folks,
I am a relatively new user of Linux and have used openSuSe 10.2 since
December last year, mainly for learning and getting the feel for the OS.
I am now trying to slowly switch over to using Suse 10.2 for Web
browsing and thus have come across this following, IMHO, bug:
I make Firefox 2 my default browser and when I click on a downloaded
or saved file on my desktop or in a documents folder, it will not open
it if it has a space in the name (eg my links.html). If Firefox is
already running and I go through the ff file menu to open it, no problem
- it opens it.
NB: This is the message from Firefox:
"File not found
Firefox can't find the file at /home/peter1/Desktop/My."
Just to prove that it is not anything to do with me mucking up
the system, I just re-installed a fresh suse 10.2 KDE base install on a
spare partition and the same problem exists there too.
Conclusion: I am pretty sure its a bug but since I am no expert, I seek
the opinion and advice from others who are expert and/or more experienced.
I am using KDE desktop and have the latest Firefox version on my first
installation. The test install Firefox is the version that came on the
DVD iso.
Thanks in advance for any help in rectifying this problem.
Regards,
Peter
PS: I have tried searching for a solution to this via google but no luck
so far.
Not sure if I'm clear on what your saying but I created a file called
"My Test.html" (with a space though this is bad windows behavior) right
clicked on it and chose "Open With Firefox". That opens the file and I
click on the content of that page, which is a link to ibm.com and that
opens the web site... So no problem here. Firefox version is:
MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.2-8.2
Perhaps you need to update your Firefox...
Or else, since you're using KDE you should open up konqueror and go
to ->Settings -> Configure Konqueror -> File Associations. In the 'Find
filename pattern box type .html .Click on the + next to the word text.
Click on the html icon. Select Firefox from the list. Click Edit. On
the 'Application' tab make sure the 'Command' box has firefox%u .
Also, I suspect what you are seeing 'may' be a default when telling Firefox
to be the default browser. Instead of clicking on an html file try right
clicking on it and choose 'open with' and select Firefox. I don't think
that will make any difference but give it a try.
