The main purpose of voting is to avoid the annoying and useless "Me too!" messages: see bug 374002. Votes do not influence which bugs get fixed. (In reply to Szczepan Hołyszewski from comment #42) > I am starting to suspect developer malice here. That seems uncalled for. Firefox developers working on Linux issues are very few and hard-working. They need more love and support and not users throwing accusations. Also, if you honestly want to see support of Linux continued, you are shooting yourself in the foot with such a comment: Which developer wants to work on supporting an OS when users of that OS accuse them of malice? Scaring developers away is not the way to improve such support! The reality is that there are very few Firefox developers that use GNU/Linux, and all of them probably use GNOME/GTK. GTK developers have contributed at lot to Mozilla/Firefox, whereas KDE has its own browser (Konqueror and now Rekonq). The people that have tried to improve Firefox on KDE have done so by creating add-ons or distribution-specific patches. This is a quick way to get results but tends to bitrot and break sooner or later. The *only* way Firefox support for KDE will improve is if people using Firefox on KDE join Firefox development and do it. If you cannot do it yourself for lack of time or skills, create a kickstarter and hire a developer that can. If you do not have skills, money, or time, and you cannot figure out another way to help, then resign yourself in silence because it will probably get worse. Attacking developers, whining and useless comments (mine ones included, unfortunately) only make developers *less* inclined to follow bug reports about KDE. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133133 Title: "Open containing folder" is only working if nautilus is present Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Tools->Downloads-> (Right click)->Open containing folder Result: Nothing happens (not even an error).
