Have you got the same problem as per comment #6 on bug #1876347 ? The "solution" is to delete your saved card and then type it in again. It looks as though Firefox "doesn't like" saved credit cards that were saved a while ago - which is also why this bug is so hard to replicate. -- You received

This change makes xpra nearly unusable, because Xpra then ends up creating an entire desktop session, forwarding a lot of unwanted taskbars (which you can't close without killing xpra), and it nags about permissions to create a color profile. -- You received this bug notification because you are

Thanks for your response.

I just tested this again in my Ubuntu Mate system (Wily, fully updated as of today). Running the command "gvfs-open http://www.bbc.co.uk"; still results in the same problem - namely a new firefox window that is open at the homepage, not the URL required. The gvfs-open command does what it shou

I agree, the default should be disabled. My rationale: 1. Most users wouldn't necessarily expect the program to be auto-start; rather, they would expect to add it to their own X-startup scripts if they want it. 2. Furthermore, it creates really "weird" symptoms for those who don't realise what's

II also see this bug. It's definitely a problem! I suspect that the reason relatively few people are complaining is that (a) The problem is intermittent - the keys come and go, sometimes only a single keystroke is dropped. Sometimes it takes many seconds. (b) Nobody expects a bug of this type -
