Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Andrew Weintraub]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When dragging a theme or extension into either the extension or theme manager,
firefox is unable to install it because it uses the wrong file name.  In
general, for a theme located at "http://some.website.com/downloads/theme.jar",
firefox tries to install "http://some.website.com/downloads/theme.jartheme.jar".
 (Note how the filename and NOT the entire URI is duplicated).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to a website or windows explorer with a theme file or a link to a theme file.
2.  Drag the file (or link to the file) into the theme manager.
3.  Firefox asks if you want to install the theme

Actual Results:  
The filename of the theme that Firefox tries to install is duplicated (and
doesn't actually exist)

Expected Results:  
Firefox should not modify the filename of the theme

Dragging the link in this bug (http://some.website.com/downloads/theme.jar )
resulted in doubled url (not just file name) here.

After fooling around with some URI's, I've found that firefox or thunderbird
(yes, TB also) will double the URI of whatever is in the link.  If the link is
relative (like on the theme page on which I noticed the bug) then only the
filename is doubled.  Otherwise, the entire URI is doubled.  And I was wrong
about windows explorer (I think)--dragging themes from it into the theme manager
is now working for me.

This bug looks like a duplicate of Bug 260068 (cases from Comment #1 and
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260068#c7 are fixed on trunk by a
checkin for the mentioned bug).

Per comment #3 and my own testing this is WFM now on the trunk
