A few quick notes. First, see the package message if you have problems. If you get a response like "smb: not a registered protocol" you need to delete your firefox components registry. Next, smb network browsing has some issues being addressed in Mozilla bugzilla entry 235931. Accessing shares has been another problem for me which I don't understand. Attached are two packet traces, one using nautilus and one using firefox, to access a share. Nautilus has no problems but mozilla fails to access it. The firefox trace [1] shows an extra Open request at 22:18:20.630271 which causes my samba servr to return an access denied response. Nautilus is not doing this. [2] I can't find anything in Mozilla's bugzilla regarding this. Not sure if my samba setup is being "unique". Lastly, sftp access is only working if using public key authentication, password and passphrase authentication do not work. This is on -CURRENT where nautilus has no problems with all three authentication forms. I saw mention of sftp passwords being a problem for some but no mention of how it was resolved in bugzilla 235895. Finally for further reading enjoyment: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233305 http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235895 That's where all this was introduced. I think that's it...
