Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ubufox
On a couple of separate firefox updates now, I've noticed that the
ubufox restart-required notifier keeps re-appearing even after multiple
firefox restarts - even after I check in the running processes that
firefox has genuinely shut down and restarted.
Looking at the ubufox code, it uses the last-modified time of
localstore.rdf in the user's profile to judge whether a restart has been
done - however starting and stopping firefox a few times shows that it
does *not* always rewrite this file when started and stopped.
This leads to a very poor user experience where they are continually re-
prompted to restart the browser even after repeatedly restarting the
browser - furthermore, the notifier is quite intrusive, as even if the
user clicks the close box, it reappears on every page load.
Nominating this bug for Intrepid because this potential bad user
experience.
