Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 80171

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[Wojciech Banas]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607

I often reinstall my home computer, because I get slackware-current every few
weeks from work and I only have a dial-up connection at home so I want to
install jre.xpi from my hard disk so that I don't have to download it as a
plug-in and wait 2 hours each time.
In the past I was able to go to File -> Open File... in Mozilla and choose
jre.xpi on my hard drive and it would install the Java Runtime Env. Now when I
do this, it just wants to save the file to disk.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. File
2. Open File...
3. select jre.xpi
4. Should install the plug-in, but it wants to save it to disk instead.

Actual Results:  Mozilla wants to save jre.xpi to disk, but I already have it on
my disk.

Expected Results:  jre.xpi plug-in gets installed

Installed using mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-0.9.1-installer.tar.gz. Components
installed were:
Browser
Talkback

Currently XPI install from local files is broken in general.
