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.
