Bug ID: 524384
Summary: Download notification for Firefox-based browsers
packaged with Flatpak shows a garbed path
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasma-browser-integration
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Firefox
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
I'm unsure if this is a PBI issue or a notification issue, so I thought I'd
start here with PBI.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch a sandboxed Flatpak instance of LibreWolf or Firefox, with the
plasma-browser integration's add-on installed.
2. Visit https://github.com/caelestia-dots/shell.
2. Scroll down to the video > right-click > download > select desktop > OK.
3. After it downloads, a system notification from Plasma Browser Integration
appears.
OBSERVED RESULT
The notification says it was downloaded to
"/run/user/1000/doc/bWu6HL6WsGZiNKgaBXwMGg" (or some similar nonsense).
Clicking on the link opens that weird path instead of "/home/nate/desktop".
EXPECTED RESULT
The notification says it was downloaded to "/home/nate/Desktop" and clicking on
the link takes me there.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The browser's own download popups display the location correctly as
"/home/nate/Desktop", and their "show in folder" actions take me there.
This issue only affects LibreWolf and Firefox; Chromium is unaffected.
