I can confirm this problem with the current official Firefox (3.5.5) and

integration).

The problem only appears sometimes. If it appears I can do "File->Save
Page As" and after closing the resulting file chooser dialog, right
clicking on an image and choosing "Save Image As" works again.

Naturally I suspect the KDE Firefox integration. Please tell me how I
can help to provide information for fixing this the next time the
problem appears (at the moment it doesn't.)

2. This bug goes beyond saving images as if you go to file and select
"save as" this will not work. What does work is hitting control+s. Same
thing with open option in the file drop down menu it will not work in
the file drop menu but will work if you hit control+o. It seems the only
things that will not work in the drop down menu are option that bring up

I have also been experiencing this issue on a 32 bit system and as far
as I can tell it only happens when trying to save images into a folder
already containing a lot of files.  Both of the folders that get me
every time have 1500+ images in them (coincidentally 1554 and 1557 files
respectively).   It makes me wonder if there's a certain threshold
number of files where this starts to happen.  Saving the images
elsewhere works perfectly (so long as I don't browse into those folders
and lock kmozillahelper up).

I have uninstalled the firefox that came with openSUSE 11.2 and
installed (manually just by extracting into a folder) the firefox from
mozilla.org to see if that fixes the issue. I'll let you know if it does
(in which case it's something with opensuse's branding).

This is DEFINITELY an OpenSUSE issue. After uninstalling OpenSUSE-
branded firefox and installing firefox directly from mozilla.org, the
issue has disappeared. I've been using it for a month with out this
issue.

The problem with reproducing the bug is that it does not appear
immediately after start-up of Firefox, but only after having used
Firefox for some time. Simply closing Firefox and restarting resolves
the problem - at least temporarily.

To reproduce the problem I recommend that you work with Firefox for some
time until the problem occurs (my suspicion is that you need to work
with some multimedia files to induce the problem).

What is the information I should send you from my computer when this bug
is active?

This bug is still here.  I have the same problem.  "Save Image As" from
the pop-up menu does not work.  Sometimes it works when Firefox is first

Facebook, it fails.  Same with saving pages from the pull-down menu
(although ctrl-s does work).

I use:
Opensuse 11.3 x86_64
KDE4 Version 4.4.4 "release 3"
Mozilla Firefox 3.6.13

This is what I tried to correct the problem:

Removed:
mozilla-xulrunner191-gnomevfs
mozilla-xulrunner192-gnome
(Both version 1.9.1.16-3.1)
No fix.  I put them back.

Then I changed branding from Opensuse to Moblin
No fix.  I restored Opensuse branding

Finally, I removed Mozilla-Kde4 integration.  That makes it work right.
The problem seems to be a bad Kde4 integration. (Version
0.6.3-17.2-x86_64)

I fully expect this to appear in Opensuse 11.4 unless it's fixed before
release (in a couple of weeks!).

A question:  What is this "integration" and why is it necessary or
desirable?

For those having problems with this bug, a workaround that appears to
work here, short of unistalling the KDE4 integration, is to change

"ui.allow_platform_file_picker" to "false" under about:config.

You get the gnome file dialog instead, which you may or may not like,
but this seems to avoid the problems mentioned in this bug.

IRT comment #39:
Lubos, You can not be having zero problem with this; it is just too consistent.  It happens with Mozilla Firefox and KDE4 integration on any platform.  I am using openSUSE 11.3 x86_64 on a 64-bit dual-core laptop.  All I have to do is run Firefox and use it to browse a variety of sites like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.  Once I've done that, if I try to save an image, it won't work.  Also, DownloadHelper (and probably a large variety of other stuff) won't work properly either.

As with a very large percentage of software bugs, this one won't show up
when the affected program (in this  case, Firefox) is first started.
Something changes in the relationship between Firefox and KDE4
integration that breaks Firefox's normal file-saving behavior.

Lubos, it took me some time to work it out, but this should do at least
enough to trace down the problem.

To reproduce:
1. Shut down any instances of Firefox you have running.

2. Ensure that you have the latest versions of Firefox (4.0.0) and KDE4
integration (0.6.3) installed.

3. Allow the "Welcome to Firefox 4" and "openSUSE.org" tabs to fully
load.

4. Create a new tab and load the image:
      http://countdown.opensuse.org/11.4/large.png

5. Right-click the image and select "Save Image As" to try to save the
picture.  The KDE4 "Save As" dialog, which should appear, will not.

That image can be saved by using ctrl-s, but that is impossible when the
image is part of a web page instead of being loaded alone.

I am including my "about:plugins" page, just so you can see what plugins
I'm using.  I would include "about:config" but Firefox won't save that
to disk.  I am including it just in case the problem is affected or
caused by a plugin.

While we're about KDE4 integration, I notice that the web page extension
defaults to ".htm" without any option to change it to ".html" which is
more usual on the web today.  Is there any way to change this?
