RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246354

People

(Reporter: markus.amersdorfer, Assigned: bugzilla)

Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9

When changing the "Home Page Location(s)" field manually by entering another
web-page or by simply changing the existing string, "OK" does not close the
Preferences window and it is impossible to save the changes.
Using the buttons such as "Use current pages" works fine.

I first came accross this bug in Firefox 0.9rc1, but it might have been
introduced earlier already.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using a fresh profile, start Firefox 0.9, open "Edit -- Preferences".
2. Change the content of "General -- Home Page -- Location(s)", e.g. to your
favorite search engine. (Enter the URL manually.)
3. Try clicking "OK" to save and exit the preferences dialog.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.

Expected Results:  
Saved the changes and exited the preferences-dialog.

I have been able to reproduce this. Did not occur prior to 0.9rc

I've the same problem, though I'm not sure from the description if it's an exact
match; only one of three of the buttons will allow me to change the default
blank to any given page (to wit, the Use Current Page button). Installed version:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9

236354 is about Xinerama and IMHO has absolutely nothing to do with this bug. 
Not even remotely.  Leaving as resolved per duplicate bug 246354 (10' diff!)
sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
