Bug 162578 [Browser] Changing status message in Ubuntu's built-in Firefox browser doesn't work
Reported: 2006-10-27 12:03:29 | Status: resolved fixed

Hi, I used to use SWT browser on Linux with Mozilla 1.7.3 GTK2, and everything was OK, but when I switched to Firefox (the version which is available with Ububtu Dapper 6.06), a problem occurs: Either the JavaScript in my page (loaded in the Browser widget), cannot change the status text, or SWT does not handle the event. I believe that this is the first problem, so changed my Firefox setting to allow JavaScript to change status bar message, but the problem still remains. I don't know where is the default configuration loaded for a SWT browser, but probably this is a security issue for Firefox. I used Ubuntu 6.06's default Firefox (1.5.0.5 I think). I'll soon make an attachment to reproduce the bug.
