<div dir="ltr"><pre><br>Package: deskbar-applet<br>Version: 2.22.3.1-1<br>Severity: normal<br><br>For deskbar-applet there is a version check embedded in 'mozilla.py' located in:<br><br>/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/modules-2.20-compatible<br>
<br>This version check is totally dependent on the constants specified in the 'mozilla.py' module. These VERSION constants are:<br><br>....lines 34-36:<br># Minimum and maximum version of Firefox<br>MIN_FF_VERSION = [2, 0, 0, 0]<br>
MAX_FF_VERSION = [3, 0, 0, 0] # exclusively<br><br>As can be readily seen the MAX version is INCORRECT when using the lenny-based default Iceweasel browser which is <a href="http://3.0.1.0">3.0.1.0</a>!!<br>Thus, the provided lenny browser will cause the deskbar-applet to incorrectly deactivate any usage of:<br>
- Web Bookmarks (Mozilla)<br>- Web History (Mozilla)<br>search-activity options and report them as "Extensions with Errors".<br><br>Proposed patch correction:<br>1. increase the MAX_FF_VERSION to an upper limit greater than the default Mozilla browser version (Firefox/Iceweasel) >3.0.1<br>
2. possibly include some enhanced Version cross-checking so that deskbar-applet will NVER be out-of-sync with the Debian default browser level<br><br><br>-- System Information:<br>Debian Release: lenny/sid<br>
