[Bug 205779] [NEW] file:// does not remember sorting choices

[chris]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

$lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 7.10
Release:        7.10


$ apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
  Installed: 3.0~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.0~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.0~b4+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status


When entering file:///home/<homedir> into firefox, the browser displays all files in that directory.

If you were to click, "Name", "Size" or "Last modified", it would sort
by them. However, if you enter into a sub directory and then return to
the parent directory, firefox forgets the sorting selection previously
chosen.

I expect the sorting selection to remain the same throughout browsing
all files until the user selects another method of sorting.

** Affects: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu)
