1135851 - Library, Import and Backup, Restore, Choose file... does not recognize .json4lz in Windows XP

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Places, defect)

Library, Import and Backup, Restore, Choose file... does not recognize .json4lz - in Windows XP

Likewise, in SeaMonkey, Bookmarks Manager, Tools, Restore, Choose file... does not recognize .jsonlz4 - in Windows XP

Only JSON is listed as a default file type.
(Note the CAPS.)

Both .json & .jsonlz4 should be the defaulted file type.

I'll assume its something in here, Bug 818587 - Compress bookmark backups ?

And on the SeaMonkey end, Bug 1117577 - Bookmarks Manager, Tools, Restore, Choose file... does not recognize .json4lz

I can't speak about seamonkey (Cause I suspect they didn't port changes yet), but here using Firefox on Windows it seems to recognize both types in Restore / Choose file.
I see [JSON (*.json; *.jsonlz4)] in the file picker.

Ah, I see.

On XP (& no access to Win7 at the moment), it uses the terminology, "JSON" as the file type, where I was expecting to see something more like "*.json; *.jsonlz4".

Nonetheless "JSON" does pick up on both *json & *.jsonlz4 as expected.

I'll fire up a Win7 system & then mark as invalid.

XP & Win7 dialogs are different.

XP shows the "file type" as "JSON".
Win7 shows the "file type" as "JSON (*.json;*jsonlz4)".

I interpreted the former to only mean *.json, without actually testing it.
And as it does pick up both *.json & *.jsonlz4, that's good enough, so marking WFM.

Thanks for investigating it.
