I can reproduce the issue on Nightly69.0a1 Windows10.

Chris Frey,
Your patch seems to cause the regression. Can you please look into this?

Thanks for the report!

I can reproduce both problems on my machine.

• clicking doesn't work sometimes
• Sorting order is wrong

This is broken because https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/f91bd38732d4a330eba4e780812274b98eb81274/browser/base/content/pageinfo/pageInfo.js#185-186 expects to be comparing numbers, but the change at https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/03aece6cda47#l1.204 from bug 1517493 changed the addImage function to make it format and localize file sizes into strings eagerly.

Also have the sorting issue in the view properties > image

Windows 7, 64 bit SP1
Firefox Quantum 68.0 (64-bit)

I seemed to see an inference to a possible fix for this version of firefox, but could not locate it. Anyone have a link to this fix (if it exists)?

Comment 5

[zanglebert]

Problem persists in 68.0.1 (64-bit).

Any proposed fix, or barring that, any known workarounds?

Adding needinfo on Jared who participated in bug 1517493.

This is safe because we only display the sizes as kb so we don't have to worry about comparing different units.

I won't be able to continue with this bug as I'm going on extended leave.

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

Happy to take a patch for 70 or beyond.
Since we are getting close to the end of the 69 beta cycle and this is set to P3, I'm marking it fix-optional for 69 and 70 to remove it from weekly triage.

Still present in FF 88.0. Writing this comment in hopes that the bug gets some attention from the developers.

Comment 22

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The severity field for this bug is relatively low, S3. However, the bug has 4 duplicates.
:florian, could you consider increasing the bug severity?

The good news: it sorts correctly now
The bad news: that is because nearly every filesize is now Unknown! (I've tested +-15 sites, only 2 of them had 1 item of non-unknown size)

How has a simple bug like this not yet been fixed and gotten even worse?!?

Bump. A 5 year old issue, something as trivial and simple as sorting by size, is somehow still not resolved. (And every 1st out of 3 clicks does nothing.)
