Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
I am sharing a Firefox profile on a FAT32 partition between Windows XP and
LINUX!
The problems are the following:
1. I boot into UBUNTU Feisty and launch Firefox where AUTOSCROOLING OPTION
is TICKED in FF 'preferences'. Then I close FF and reboot to WIndows XP where I
also launch Firefox and the 'autoscrooling option' is still 'ticked. But when I
reboot back to UBUNTU from Windows and open FF the 'autoscrooling option' gets
unticked.
I've tried it with a clean profile an also on a friends computer. He has Win2k3
and UBUNTU DAPPER-GNOME
and the same problem ocures when he was sharing the profile on a FAT32
partition.
The solution for this is to create 'user.js' and put this line in:
----------
user_pref("general.autoScroll", true);
----------
My question is why is this happening, why do some settings get changed in Linux?
