Firefox Button Order is just wrong.
It’s like Cancel/Ok
It should be like Ok/Cancel
I tried to edit /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and add
gtk-alternative-button-order = 1
but it didn’t work.
Thanks and regards…
by the way forgot to mention about system.
Opensuse 12.2 kde x64 all official repos except packman.

what do you have to do to get an Cancel/OK ?
(it is not “Save Link as”, because that gives Save/Cancel; it is not
“Send Link” because that opens a mail client; it is not in the
Preferences dialog because there it is OK/Cancel; . . . so, i am tired
of looking and guessing…
tell us were/how you get that and then lets see if anyone can duplicate it.

one absolutely MUST look deeply here! see http://susepaste.org/9447220
because as you can see, i can not duplicate your problem (even when i
know where to look–though i admit i don’t know how to provoke the
“Default browser” dialog, but every button order i can find is OK/Cancel)
maybe you unknowingly did something to change that…try using YaST >
Security & Users > User & Group Management to add a new test user, then
log out and back into that test user, and see if the button order
switches to Cancel/OK…if so, then something in your /home is scrambled…
or maybe it is something the mozilla folks did with their latest release…
or, maybe you are sharing profiles between your linux and window’s
partition? (don’t windows do it the ‘wrong way’ by default?)

well actually it was a suse studio problem.
if i would open a thread in there, no one would care, sorry.
i know it doesn’t exist on official opensuse 12.2
i checked every package, since they are all same repos and packages, i just couldnt figured it out.
so let’s imagine i did something wrong and wanna change it back.
or let’s imagine i wanna change button order of official opensuse like cancel/ok .
how can i change button order ?
that was my actual question.

well, i think your actual question is:
How do i find the button order inside the Mozilla Firefox source code
base, and once found how do i rearrange it to my liking?
and, i can’t answer that…especially not in this forum!
but there is a forum with programming in its name
<http://tinyurl.com/5v695w4>, and another mentioning the Studio
<http://tinyurl.com/6bzscrr>, and you might even find some help in the
Build Service <http://tinyurl.com/64xoegy>
however, unless you already have several years of programming experience
i’d suggest your first step might be to do that, first.
and, while you are learning the basics of computer programming you might
even get used to using either Cancel/OK or OK/Cancel just by looking
at what is written on each button before clicking.

It’s not about programming.
It’s about something like
gtk-alternative-button-order = 1
opensuse uses some scripts to configure system.
that is what i need to, just a bash script or something.
you seem like an experienced developer.
so you dont have to waste your time with my little problem.

no, i am not a developer (experienced or otherwise)…i didn’t intend to
give you the impression i was…
sometimes i can successfully construct a simple script, but i can’t
‘program’ my way out of a paper bag…most often my “Hello world.”
messages, don’t.
i don’t know a magic one-liner to reverse the button order…if i were
you i would search and/or post to a mozilla list/forum
http://www.mozilla.org/
my last word: the order is as it should be in mine–i have to wonder
what you did to yours to mess it up.

In my work, I spend a great deal of time fixing things that people do when they ignore the advice: “If it ain’t broke - don’t fix it”
hey you arent listening:P
i aint do nothing.
just go to susestudio
create new appliance
in opensuse 12.2 select kde 4 base x64
then in software tab add firefox
you can also add gtk2-theme-oxygen or something(optional)
build a hard disk image and test it in testdrive
you will see firefox buttons are reversed.
that is why i dont understand, same packages , same repos but different results.
Tony:
We are using the 12.2 and or 12.1 official release
So I can’t really say what happens
Why should it be “OK”, “Cancel”?
I have Firefox release installed from the Update repository, and the Aurora, Beta and Nightly all installed manually, along with Thunderbird release installed from the Update repository, and the Beta, Daily installed manually.
All show “Cancel”, “OK”, which I don’t have a problem with, and didn’t know it was an issue until you brought it up.
I don’t see anything in about:config that could change it.
I just opened a few other applications, and Cancel is also first in those. Some are in the order Apply/Cancel/OK.
alright then let’s imagine
i wanna change the button order
cancel/ok with official 12.2 release
how could i do that ?
modifying ~/.kde4/config/gtkrc isn’t working.
it seems like it’s regenerated.
I don’t know
But I doubt anything in .kde4 is related
Hi
They are following the standard, cancel to the left of the ok button,
which goes at the lower right corner

If you use kde, do you have kde integration package for mozilla
which package you talking about ?
regards…
mozilla-kde4-integration
Not sure if that will be the solution, but it should be installed for kde (though it’s not essential)
