An error message is generated whenever I try to import bookmarks.html from a network share on kubuntu. This same operation is sucessful on the windows version of firefox.

To replicate: The bookmarks.html is created by Firefox 3.68 on windows 7. And is saved to a network share location. When trying to import this file into firefox 3.6.8 on my kubuntu 10.04 machine, I get the error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.

If I copy bookmarks.html local to the kubuntu machine, it imports without error.

On windows, I can import bookmarks.html from the network share without error.

Does anyone know why I can't import across the network on the kubuntu version?

browser being run on windows 7: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8

It appears to be any remote file, not just the bookmarks file. When trying to upload a file to a website, firefox threw up the same error:

error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.

So what is it about files that are sitting on a server, firefox and kubuntu that causes this? I don't get the error message when using win7 on the same files.
