Public bug reported: Firefox Information: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032711 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.8
Web pages that have been saved locally are not displaying correctly. To see this problem run the following steps: 1). Go to the jwebunit website ( http://jwebunit.sourceforge.net/ ). Suggesting saving a page from this website as a test since this provided a very good example of the problem. 2). Right click on the main web page and select "Save As..." 3). Save the web page somewhere on the local drive. On Ubuntu there is an option in the save dialog specifying how to save the web page. Make sure that "Web page, complete" is selected. 4). Navigate to the location where the web page was stored and attempt to load the saved page back into firefox At this point the web page that is loaded from the hard disk should display very differently than the real web page. Styles and elements of the original web page should be missing. I also tested this same process on Windows XP SP2 (using firefox 3.0.8) and I see the exact same behavior. This seems to eliminate the problem being caused by local browser settings (since I see the same thing under Windows and Linux on two separate machines with totally different preferences). Furthermore I was able to run steps 1 - 4 using Opera 9.64 and this produces a saved web page that displays identically to the web page navigated to on the internet. ...Additionally I just tried loading the webpage saved locally using opera and this loads into firefox correctly. So the problem appears to be with the actual web page save using firefox and not the fact that the page is saved locally. ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Sat Mar 28 11:36:15 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 Package: firefox-3.0 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: PATH=/home/username/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: firefox-3.0 Uname: Linux 2.6.24-23-generic i686 Update - Looks like this bug report may have gone to the wrong place. I was expecting this to be submitted against firefox instead of Ubuntu... Apparently selecting --> Help --> Report a Problem inside of the firefox web browser sends bug reports to Ubuntu. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- Locally saved webpages not displaying correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350407 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
