Title:
Visiting the Extension Home Page replaces the saved session
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
Invalid
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Summary: Start up Firefox and have it search for updates to
Extensions. If it finds any updates, apply them. Once you choose the
button to apply them it will display a dialog stating that the
extensions were updated successfully. In that dialog box, right click
one of the extensions that were updated, and choose Visit Home Page.
If the user chooses this option it will cause the Firefox instance
that loads to display only the Extension home page and none of the
other pages that were part of the previous session.
Firefox 2.0.0.13
Kubuntu 7.10
Steps
1. Set Firefox to load the previously saved session
2. Open mutiple tabs in Firefox
3. Restart Firefox at a point when the there are extensions that need to be
updated
4. When Firefox restarts, it should prompt the user to update the extensions
that it found updates for. Click Install Updates at this dialog box.
5. After clicking Install Updates, the dialog box will state whether each
extension was updated successfully. Right click one of the entries and click
Visit Home Page
6. Observe whether the tabs that were open in Firefox previously will be
opened
Expected Results: When the user clicks Visit Home Page it should open
the Extension's Home Page in a new tab
Actual Results: The tabs that were previously opened are not reloaded
when the user clicks Visit Home Page. Instead the user just gets one
open tab with the Extension's Home Page loaded.
This scenario has not been tested with Firefox 3.
