Yes, it's the same bug. The bug is fixed in Firefox 4.0 by a patch which was committed to fix an unrelated problem. I've backported the changes for Firefox 3.6 and requested it to be landed upstream. If that doesn't happen, then we'll try to distro-patch it to make it work for Maverick. -- wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Is this bug related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/239952 and will it ever get fixed ?

[Bug 254169] Re: wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer
This and another issue are intertwined, making it difficult to track
down the source of the issues. (Bug #239952 firefox - the associated
helper application does not exist).
This issue is caused by a change in the handling of file permissions for
temporary downloaded files on all platforms except Mac in xulrunner.
Fortunately there is a work-around in the form of the configuration
setting:
browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit = false (boolean)
This can be added via Firefox's "about:config" page.
The code in question is in
mozilla/uriloader/exthandler/nsExternalHelperAppService.cpp in the
method nsExternalAppHandler::OpenWithApplication() :
nsCOMPtr prefs(do_GetService(NS_PREFSERVICE_CONTRACTID));
if (!prefs || NS_FAILED(prefs->GetBoolPref(
"browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit", &deleteTempFileOnExit))) {
// No prefservice or no pref set; use default value
#if !defined(XP_MACOSX)
// Mac users have been very verbal about temp files being deleted on
// app exit - they don't like it - but we'll continue to do this on
// other platforms for now.
deleteTempFileOnExit = PR_TRUE;
#else
deleteTempFileOnExit = PR_FALSE;
#endif
}
// make the tmp file readonly so users won't edit it and lose the changes
// only if we're going to delete the file
if (deleteTempFileOnExit)
mFinalFileDestination->SetPermissions(0400);

I can confirm this with a freshly installed 8.04.1 + updates, when opening a .deb file. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to http://virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads, Binaries (all platforms), select Ubuntu 8.04 (x86) and agree to the PUEL to get the download link. 2. Click on the download link to get the download action dialog. 3. Choose the default (Open with GDebi). What happens: Firefox says the file "could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist." What I expected to happen: To have the downloaded .deb file open in GDebi. -- wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Clicking on a link like http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l /linux-wlan-ng/linux-wlan-ng_0.2.9+dfsg-1.diff.gz works better. It still doesn't open in the browser window, but the Opening dialog suggest Archive Manager which works fine. I think the difference between these links is the MIME type in the server response header. -- wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 254169] Re: wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer
Clicking on the above link to my uploaded file in launchpad gives another result, probably because the server ships another MIME type. Now I get a question of opening with Firefox, which gives another error dialog, or with "less" which is useless because the less window probably disappears before I see it. To see the original issue, see https://launchpad.net/~tormodvolden/+archive and click on any "Available diffs". -- wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is a major PITA when browsing such files. I remember that before these files would just open inside the Firefox window (automatically gunzipped), which was much more convenient. -- wrong permissions on /tmp files makes it impossible to directly view with external viewer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/254169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
