Unable to download files with epiphany-browser in Squeeze
OK, guys, I know I must be doing something stupid, but I can't seem to
download files with epiphany-browser in Squeeze. I'm running a GNOME
desktop environment. The mozplugger package is installed. I also
have flashplugin-nonfree and sun-java6-plugin installed, but I'm not
sure that's relevant. Anyway, let's say that I am viewing a web
page that has a download link. I move the mouse pointer over it and
the message line on the bottom of the screen shows a URL ending in
".pdf". I single-right-click on the link, move the mouse pointer over
"save link as" on the pop-up menu, single-left-click on that and ...
nothing happens
I don't even get so much as a dialog box to specify the target directory
or file name. "Download link" doesn't work either. It works on my Lenny
system. What am I missing?
Is there a plugin package that I need but don't have? Is there
something I need to configure that isn't configured by default?
I searched the internet on the keywords
Debian Squeeze epiphany-browser "unable to download"
I got a bunch of hits but nothing looked promising in the
first page or two.
Has anyone seen this before?
I do have evince installed to view pdf files. But that shouldn't matter.
