How to reproduce: cd to a directory thats shown inside a directory widget, then do the following: printf "#"'!'"/bin/sh\nfirefox\n" > firefox-starter chmod +x firefox-starter ./firefox-link This bug is a regression, with 5.3.0 it worked. Reproducible: Always
Err, sorry, forgot the most important part: when you click on the file in dolphin, or execute it like above, it works, and starts firefox. However when you open it with the folder view, it opens the file as if it didn't have the executable bit set.
