Fixing downloads page bug

It was reported - and confirmed by myself - that all latest Goannas have downloads page (about:downloads) broken:



(All downloads are reported as Failed and no way to open the folder with file downloaded)

The reason is an old code of 'downloads' chrome content folder inside omni.ja:
browser\omni.ja\chrome\kmeleon\content\browser\downloads\
(there are old Gecko-based files there)

I've replaced content of that folder with one taken from latest PaleMoon and - SURPRISE! - this fixed the issue.

So we need to update omni.ja with fixed one

Enjoy the possibility to update your current installation if you do need this option (useful for KM Hybrid, for example as well as for all power users, who use download manager)

@rodocop thank you for this information about this minor bug (I think it's minor bug because all is being download correctly, only about.downloads doesn't work).

However, I guess that your provided fixed omni.ja is not for substitute the current omni.ja, just because it is very short size, so I updated the content of current omni.ja adding the content of your fixed omni.ja but it doesn't work for me. Probably my bad. It is complicated to do this update imho for non power users. This bug also affects KMeleon 76 RC2 and RC2 Pro by the way, not just for Goannas.

- Suggested fix:
update whole download package links for KMeleon RC2/RC2Pro and KMG77 including complete fixed omni.ja by default, if possible, of course.
:s

He doesn't mean the root/omni.ja but the root/browser/omni.ja which belongs to k-meleon. The other is the Gecko(/Goanna?) omni.ja.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding! Yes, now it works! Tested @rodocop's fixed omni.ja after replacing root/browser/omni.ja on KMeleon 76 RC2/Pro, KMeleon Hybrid and KMeleon Goanna with complete success! @JohnHell thank you! smiling smiley
