56760 - Filepicker doesn't see most files and directories

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 56779

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[R.K.Aa.]

linux installed 2000101509

Trying to run Realplayer as an application fails.
Even if i write in full path in filepicker, a download will instead perform.

Trying to "Choose" realplay by maneuvring in directories with filepicker fails.
I have realplay located in /usr/lib/RealPlayer7/ fbut filepicker only see 5 of
67 directories in /usr/lib.
It barely recognize any files either; only a handful, all for some reason
starting with g or l.
It  bluntly ignores 730 other files, directories and links there.

If you go to file:///usr/lib/, does everything show up, or do you get the same
results?

same result. It looks next to empty lol :)
[dark@localhost dark]$ ls -la /usr/lib |wc -l
    795

While mozilla insist there are 27 files and directories there alltogether.
Those are first 4 directories beginning with "g", and then only a few of the
files beginning with an l, and finally a last directory again, X11.

X11 is a link actually, to ../X11R6/lib/X11
(RH6.2)
There doesn't seem to be any system to the madness. Some of what lists are
links, others are real files. It shouldn't matter anyway.

since this bug is better described and understood in 56779, marking dup.
