Cookie Accept Dialog Not Shown on Firefox 3.6

os: lucid
firefox: 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (lucid)

I am getting the same problem; cookie confirmation dialog does not show, page never loads, cannot use the mouse to navigate to other firefox tabs. I can exit firefox normally.

I'm having the same problem, ever since upgrading to Firefox 3.6. Whenever a cookie dialog would normally appear, page loading stops and switching tabs with the mouse doesn't work anymore. Selecting 'Quit' from the File menu a couple of times makes things work again, although the cookie dialog never appears (maybe selecting 'Quit' closes the non-existent cookie dialog?).
Oh, I'm using lucid too.

For a quick fix, grab the Firefox 3.6 binary package from Mozilla and copy comm.jar and comm.manifest out of the chrome directory and toss it into /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/chrome/.

For whatever reason it seems to be missing, and that's the .jar cookieAcceptDialog.xul is in.

Yay, that fixed it :) Thanks!

To the developer people: this bug is also in the 3.6.2pre/Namoroka version in PPA.

This bug also affects Kubuntu 10.04 dist-upgraded to current. Symptoms include the inability to switch tabs, pages that never finish loading, and the inability to exit Firefox cleanly. And, of course, no cookie dialogs. :-)

The Firefox error console says: "No chrome package registered for chrome://cookie/content/cookieAcceptDialog.xul"

The Firefox 3.6 binary package from Mozilla does not have this problem.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, according to this report, you are not using the most recent version of this package for your Ubuntu release. Please upgrade to the most recent version and let us know if you are still having this issue. Thanks in advance.

Uhm, I just checked the build log of the latest version here on Launchpad, and it says the usr/lib/firefox-3.6/chrome/comm.* files are still missing..

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as Triaged and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! Please report any other issues you may find.

Looking over the source diff, it seems that debian/rules is missing a reference to the two chrome/comm.* files.

This bug was fixed in the package firefox - 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu5
