1089744 - [e10s] Firefox spins forever trying to show the accessibility warning on linux

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1090430

(Firefox :: Disability Access, defect)

Description

[[:mmc] Monica Chew (no longer reading bugmail)]

Attachment: e10saccessibility.png

STR:

1) Create profile
2) Notice that Services.appinfo.accessibilityEnabled appears to be true with no changes
3) Enable e10s by going into preferences and checking "Enable multiprocess"
4) Restart and observe spinner, which seems to appears when we hit this in browser/components/nsBrowserGlue.js
      // e10s doesn't work with accessibility, so we prompt to disable
      // e10s if a11y is enabled, now or in the future.
      Services.obs.addObserver(this, "a11y-init-or-shutdown", true);
      if (Services.appinfo.accessibilityEnabled) {
        this._showE10sAccessibilityWarning();
      }

I couldn't get a stack trace, sorry.

On second thought I don't think that screenshot means much because I saw it in a different context, also on linux.

Tentatively marking as a dupe of bug 1090430. It doesn't look like a real process spinning, it's just that we're showing the "tab switch spinner" incorrectly for about:preferences.
