Description Roel Brook 2006-03-20 19:23:50 UTC
When browsing locally with firefox, and clicking a directory which contains a file bigger then 2 Gig in size, the directory will not be opened.

Even when typing in the URL manually, the page will not change.

There is no error message.

Steps to reproduce:

mkdir ~/temp
dd if=/dev/zero of=temp/test bs=1M count=2049
start firefox
in the address bar type /home/roel
click the link to the "temp" directory

Result: nothing happens, the screen is not updated. No obvious error message is given.

Expected result: Browse to the specified directory.

This is an upstream issue not something I am willing to fix.
