Description Martin Volf 2017-11-17 09:41:45 CET 
Description of problem:
When some file is downloaded and like to open it via down arrow, click to open the contained folder, the folder is not reachable in Dolphin.

Only it happens when in Firefox is a destination folder specified with kmozillahelper as default. It creates a path with "///" instead of "//". For more info see attached screenshot or URL above.

It doesn't happen if the destination folder is choosed with an option "Alway ask me where to save files".

Workaround:
- an update of kmozillahelper is required. I tried to rebuild the kmozillahelper package with openSuse's kmozillahelper-5.0.1-4.3.src.rpm and used it succesfully
- or a quick solution uninstall the kmozillahelper package to use another file dialog window
- or use about:config in URL, find 'browser.download.dir' and change a path value. But do not forget to use this always when the destination folder is changed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
- MGA6, 64bit, updated
- Plasma 5
- Firefox ESR 52.4.0
- kmozillahelper-0.6.5-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Firefox - Edit - Preferences - Safe files to - select the folder
2. download some file
3. use down arrow - click to side folder - Dolphins can't reach the destination

Odd: URL in kmozillahelper.spec is outdated

Nope. This correctly loads Dolphin to the folder I previously set.

Closing.
