Re: [libreoffice-users][windows] Calc: Text & numbers

Found this solution for Mozilla, but not sure why it would work for 
others, since this seems it would effect the others?

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439938

It happens also on Linux and is particularly annoying with files 
opened in OpenOffice (you cannot even copy-paste when the file 
is saved read-only!).

Ok, just made a test and creating in about:config a new boolean 
toggle

browser.helperApps.deleteTempFileOnExit

set to false helps also on Linux.

I tried it on my system with Mozila and Linux, and with the value 
set to false, it opens the file and allows entering numbers. It might 
be that others don't check the status until you go to save it?
