759074 - maff files get blank icons on mac

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[order-t]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120420145725

Steps to reproduce:

Saved a page as a Webb archive, maff.


Actual results:

I got a blank icon in Finder


Expected results:

The file should have got an icon.

I resolved it by adding these lines into the Firefox's Info.plist:

<dict>
			<key>CFBundleTypeExtensions</key>
			<array>
				<string>maff</string>
			</array>
			<key>CFBundleTypeIconFile</key>
			<string>document.icns</string>
			<key>CFBundleTypeName</key>
			<string>Firefox-dokument</string>
		</dict>

Then i rebuild LS services.

However, I guess that info.plist will be replaced every time I upgrade Firefox.

Therefore, I suggest that you implement support for the maff file extension in your info.list from next version

I forgot to tell that I, of course, have associated Firefox with maff files.

Hi reporter,

I have tested this issue using the latest Firefox release (43.0.4), and it reproduces. Indeed the saved page with “.maff” extension is blank even if format is associated with Firefox. However, I have associated the ".maff" file with Chrome browser and native Safari and the icon remained blank as when with Firefox. 
You cannot save a page as ".maff" from Chrome. Safari allows saving the page as web archive but if you uncheck the "Hide extension" box, the file is saved as "<name>.webarchive" and not ".maff" and has safari icon (maybe it's the same, correct me if I'm wrong). Can you confirm this ? 

At this point, I'm not really sure that this is a Firefox issue or it's more like an enhancement. If you think that this is an enhancement will mark it as one and assign it to the appropriate development team to share an opinion on this. 
Please report back your opinion on this.

Thanks,

Considering the fact that the reporter did not provided more information on my request, I will mark this issue as resolved - incomplete. 
If you can still reproduce this, feel free to reopen it and provide the requested information.

Thanks,
Cosmin.
