Hi Juan, can you verify and provide steps to reproduce.

Comment 2

[Brian R. Bondy [:bbondy]]

I tried downloading the file on Metro Firefox and it shows the total file size.  This may have been fixed at some point? Please re-open if you can still reproduce.

Just tested again on Fx 26.0a1 (2013-09-11).

I'm on a VM from the Paris office, so connection and environment are different but the results is the same.

Comment 4

[Brian R. Bondy [:bbondy]]

both Desktop and Metro tests are being done in the same VM and both in the Paris office right?

Comment 5

[Francesco Lodolo [:flod]]

Yes, it's the same version of Nightly, on the same VM and network.

[Brian R. Bondy [:bbondy]]

Resetting back to Juan, I can't reproduce but Francesco definitely can.  Maybe you can find some extra steps that differentiate our two setups or something.

Tested on 2013-09-16 I haven't been able to reproduce this on an en-US build while trying to download different types of files including the one in the original report. I will try downloading an localized nightly build and see if there's something there.

A localized nightly (it) built from the 11th also didn't show this problem. I tried navigating to the file through the ftp directory as well as trying typing the link as in comment #0.

I am able to reproduce this problem after changing the Clock, Language, Region settings in Windows by changing the "." separator to "," in the number formats (Additional Settings).

Comment 10

[Brian R. Bondy [:bbondy]]

Should be fixed by the patch in bug 910597.  Juan could you please verify on tomorrow's nightly build or later?

Comment 11

[juan becerra [:juanb]]

This is now working on the latest nightly built from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/ab4ccf3d6b60

I tested by toggling the region settings corresponding to decimal separators and in both cases, using "." vs ",", I got a total file size and current download size reported.

Thanks for verifying.
