Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Lars Hofhansl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

Selecting an "Open with" executable for a mime-type causes a segmentation violation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. download a PDF file
2. when the download dialog appears check the "Open with" radio button, hit the
browser button and browse to (say) /usr/bin/xpdf
3. In the "Browse" dialog hit "Open"
4. FireFox crashes

Note that this only happens when you "browse" to the executable. When the full
path to the executable is typed in FireFix will not crash.




The log file shows this:
(Gecko:3592): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: file gobject.c: line 1561
(g_object_ref): assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
