And we've found out that the installer was removing the profile directory for each re-installation (only on Windows and Linux), so if you tried to re-install an application, you would lose all its data (also the authorizations, like the geolocation one). | And we've found out that the installer was removing the profile directory for each re-installation (only on Windows and Linux), so if you tried to re-install an application, you would lose all its data (also the authorizations, like the geolocation one). | ||

Sorry, I forgot to write a report for the last week. I'll now write a report for the last two weeks :) | |||
I attended an Italian conference about free software with other Mozillians (you can read the report here: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/07/report-from-ancona-confsl-2012/). | |||
I worked on some cross-platform problems about webapps reinstallation. This isn't a common use case, but it's however good to fix. | |||
I've continued to work on webapps uninstallation through a specific desktop action (desktop actions are for now supported only by Unity, there's a bug in the GNOME bugzilla but no one is working on it and sadly, in my opinion, they will not support them in time for GNOME 3.6). I've also learned how Mozilla handles localization. | |||
So we need to support uninstallation through about:apps, I'll find out if there's someone actively working on that page, otherwise I'll continue Fabrice's work: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=702363 | |||
I hope about:apps could be finished in time for Firefox 16, otherwise a lot of Linux users won't be able to remove applications in a simple way. | |||
During the last week, I've also studied for an exam: "Theory of Signals" (that I did on the 3rd of July). | |||
