Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

The Firefox Companion for Kodak EasyShare Gallery plugin does not work under Edgy Eft. This plugin is meant to facilitate bulk upload of photos to Kodak for printing. Installation appears to proceed normally, but attempting to login to my Kodak account results in the plugin hanging. The same plugin functions normally under Dapper Drake, however.

Here is the URL for the plugin:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/add-ons/kodak/?cm_sp_o=_gCjCN%2fvo%2fniiICjCdbywdB0%20J5kBzp%20-llblfzEf

Test Case:
1. Install the kodak plugin from link above.
2. Restart FireFox
3. click on the icon in the tool bar or open from menus.
4. Create account or log into account.
5. when its logging in it just continues trying.

Thanks John.

Here is the firefox version I'm running on my Apple Powerbook G4:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20060601 Firefox/2.0.0.3 (Ubuntu-edgy)

I also get this problem on my 386 box at home running Kubuntu 6.10 and the latest firefox. (I'm guessing 2.0.0.3. I can confirm tonight.)

BTW, Kodak has a great sale this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a quick fix! ;-)

Also, Firefox updated the Kodak plugin today, but the problem persists.

No. The plugin seems to work with the newest version. If you fixed it, John, thanks!

I had the same problem in Edgy. Feisty fixed it, but now it is broken again in Gutsy.
