Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0~rc2-1 Severity: important iceweasel apparently requires ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile> to be on a filesystem thatsupports mmap - this is a major problem on filesystems that don't, such as many FUSE-based filesystems. When mmap support is not present on the filesystem, iceweasel loads but silently fails to read bookmarks, search engines, and possibly other settings, and the location bar and search bar are both unresponsive, the navigation buttons do not update, no website history is stored, the home page is not loaded, and probably many more bad things, making the browser completely unusable when the filesystem does not have mmap support.
To reproduce, simply put ~/.mozilla on a filesystem without mmap support and start iceweasel. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.29 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.6.0-1 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.7-12 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.10-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-3 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libstdc++6 4.3.1-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii procps 1:3.2.7-8 /proc file system utilities ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii xulrunner-1.9 1.9~rc2-3 XUL + XPCOM application runner iceweasel recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
