Public bug reported: When any web feature asks to browse to a file location and the file navigation window comes up, it is only white page with black text.
Example: You want to attach a file in webmail aka yahoo.com (select compose/attach/browse) the window comes up but only white text with black backround and the navigation does not work and what should be the OK button makes the window crash. No buttons,button borders, no colors, and no highlighting of selected files. Same bug for all add files features when initiated from the firefox browser: Ebay add images Facebook add images Ubuntu forums add images NOW ! after lots of playing around I found that if I disable the shockwave plugin in firefox 5.0 then the file navigation features are back to normal and function as they should. But what to do with shockwave ? Please advise Thanks ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: firefox 5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-10.46-generic 2.6.38.7 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-10-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Architecture: amd64 Date: Sat Jul 30 13:13:51 2011 FirefoxPackages: firefox 5.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.2 flashplugin-installer 10.3.181.34ubuntu0.11.04.1 adobe-flashplugin N/A icedtea-plugin 1.1.1-0ubuntu1~11.04.1 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Release amd64 (20110427.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: firefox UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug natty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/818595 Title: Firefox 5.0 shockwave plugin causes missing and non functional file browsing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/818595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
