Created attachment 267076 [details]
picture of brief extention that doesn't work

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-2.5 Firefox/3.0.5

brief extension (http://brief.mozdev.org/) doesn't show the new feeds in its third panel in the firefox that is installed from opensuse/Mozilla repository 

but in firefox downloaded from mozilla website , it works without a problem.

i searched Brief forum and found out its a problem that is in firefoxs shipped with some distributions (like mine: opensuse 11.1 and before that in 11's version)

a similar bug has been fixed in archlinux (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/10968)
so why not in opensuse?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install brief extension in firefox shipped with opensuse
2.refresh feeds
3.see that there are new feeds but they are not shown

this a the problem in archlinux version 
"Seems that Firefox firefox 3.0.1-1 is missing the sqlite fts3 module"

Because we didn't know about that yet.
xulrunner/firefox on 11.0 and 11.1 are using the system sqlite installation which obviously doesn't have that feature enabled.

There are two possible solutions:
- enable fts3 in the global sqlite3 package
- stop using system sqlite but ship xulrunner/firefox with its own library

 so is somebody gonna fix it in firefox repositories?
is it a error or an option?
if an option (sqlite-fs3 or something like this) why not enable it?

and the solutions you posted are for a technical person, not me :)

Probably*

> is it a error or an option?

FTS3 seems to be optional and isn't built by default while Mozilla 
wants to use it.

> if an option (sqlite-fs3 or something like this) why not enable it?

That's the question for the sqlite3 maintainer.
If system sqlite3 won't provide that feature we will have to ship the sqlite module with Firefox.

True. This is a bugtracking system and I can only comment on Firefox not sqlite. Therefore I've listed the possible options for someone in Novell to decide what to do.
You hopefull get a solution when this bug gets marked as resolved.

Comment 5 Reza Davoudi 2009-02-25 09:44:20 UTC

it got fixed in the new version of firefox from mozilla:opensuse repository

was it because of my bug report ? :)

Comment 6 Peng Wu 2009-02-25 12:08:24 UTC

Thanks for reporting. Will consider an update.

By the way, which version did you install from the repository?

Comment 7 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2009-02-25 12:17:51 UTC

Factory (and OBS:mozilla) already has the change.
I'm not sure about the last update for 11.1.

Comment 8 Reza Davoudi 2009-02-25 16:07:50 UTC

the version 3.0.6-1.4-x86_64 from opensuse:mozilla repository
