For a long time I am experiencing weird problem when trying to choose file from File->Open_File or when I want to change "download action/helper application" in the preferences. The problem is that GTK file chooser does not list all files in the selected directory. Check it out here: http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono/buggy_file_chooser.png So some GTK library want to convince me that in /usr/X11R6/bin folder there are only three files? there are 539! I tried to right-click and activate hidden files in the chooser, tried from the root account, no luck. Any suggestions? This problem I have on both i386 and amd64 platforms with FreeBSD 5.5 and 6.1. Some time ago linux-Firefox was without this ugly GTK file chooser, is there any possibility to install/build linux-firefox with another (old) file chooser? Or it is as hopeless as to decide which linux distribution to install? Currently I don't use freebsd natively build firefox because it's unstable. /Alexander Konovalenko +46-8-5537-8142 (office) +46-7-3752-2116 http://daemon.nanophys.kth.se/~kono Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) Nanostructure Physics Department, Albanova Roslagstullsbacken 21 10691 Stockholm Sweden
