WebDAV Drag and Drop Multiple Files to Firefox: A Troubleshooting Guide

In this article, we will explore the issue of dragging and dropping multiple files from a WebDAV folder to a Firefox upload dropzone. This problem has been reported by users of Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 Faye, who are unable to upload multiple files using WebDAV, but can do so using SMB. We will delve into the steps to reproduce the issue, the expected behavior, and provide additional information to help resolve this problem.

  • Distribution: Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 Faye
  • Package version: 6.4.5

The issue arises when trying to upload multiple files from a WebDAV folder to a Firefox upload dropzone. The user has reported that this problem only occurs when using WebDAV, and not when using SMB. The user has also mentioned that they can drag and drop single files from the WebDAV folder to the dropzone, but multiple files do not work.

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Access the WebDAV folder using a file manager such as Nemo.
  2. Select multiple files from the WebDAV folder.
  3. Drag and drop the selected files to an upload dropzone in Firefox.

The expected behavior is that all selected files should be added to the upload of the website.

  • Firefox version: 138.0.3 (Firefox for Linux Mint 001- 1.0)
  • Warning message: When running Nemo from the terminal, a warning message is displayed: sys:1: Warning: g_object_weak_unref: couldn't find weak ref 0x7f7563113d30(0x7f7550004390)

To troubleshoot this issue, we can try the following:

  1. Check WebDAV settings: Ensure that the WebDAV settings are correct and that the folder is accessible.
  2. Check Firefox settings: Ensure that the Firefox settings are correct and that the upload dropzone is enabled.
  3. Try a different file manager: Try using a different file manager, such as Nautilus, to see if the issue persists.
  4. Check for updates: Ensure that all packages, including Firefox and Nemo, are up-to-date.
