www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.5 thinks it is running on Windows. The 'Save Page As...' and 'Download > Save to Disk' dialogs ask the user to "Browse for other folders"; however, folders on Unix only exist for IMAP. A fix needed to correctly identify Unix, and prompt the user to "Browse for other directories" instead is required.
That's no blocker at all. If in anyone might take your bugreport serious, it would only enhance your personal everday experience. Please go read up on the severities.
This clearly is a blocker. It's of vital importance to the future of mankind.
As you seem unable to read up on the fields descriptions, I'm going to quote them for you: Severity This field describes the impact of a bug. Blocker Blocks development and/or testing work Critical crashes, loss of data, severe memory leak Major major loss of function Minor minor loss of function, or other problem where easy workaround is present Trivial cosmetic problem like misspelled words or misaligned text Enhancement Request for enhancement So could you be so kind to explain your unability to develop, test or use anything with the misused word you're addressing?
It is a blocker because if this bug is not fixed by yesterday, the world will explode in a ball of fire and there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Your battle of the future of mankind starts here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/. If you'd like to salvage the entire Empire additionally, then maybe ask the masters of the dark side of the Force at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ to make those dialogs at least partially usable. May the Force be with you!
Not really a Gentoo problem; Firefox-1.0.7 on Fedora Core 4 exhibits the exact same behavior. I suspect this is really a gtk issue, as I see the exact same terminology, "folder" instead of "directory", in other gtk apps such as gedit. Besides, since both gnome and kde provide a visual representation to files using the same "folders and files" metaphor that Windows and Mac provide, using the term "folder" in my opinion is acceptable. But that's a completely different discussion...
We're not going to patch this locally. Ciaran is free to file a bug at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org and we'll inherit the fix when it is applied upstream.
