307376 - Find Updates for the default theme makes it look but never find anything

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[elfguy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050907 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050907 Firefox/1.4

In the theme manager, when you click on Find Updates, the default theme will say
"Looking for updates" and stay that way forever. It doesn't seem to find
anything either way, and the only way to have it stop saying "Looking for
updates" is to restart firefox.


Reproducible: Always

If this is the same thing as bug 307235, then it should simply be a matter of
adding em:appManaged to the theme install.rdf

Except that the default theme already has em:appManaged and em:locked... hrm:

WFM in branch and trunk. I see the text that "Updates to Firefox (default) are
performed when Firefox is updated". I only need to close the themes window and I
can start updating again in case I might want that.

Although the last part of the sentence is a guess because the text is
abbreviated by lack of space probably.

Same as Ria for both trunk and branch.

The text should revert back to the description when closing and reopening the
manager but doesn't appear to be for themes.

also see bug 292617, bug 302304, and bug 303863.

Reporter - as Ria pointed out the default theme states:
"Updates to Firefox (default) are performed when Firefox is updated"

This is difficult to read due to bug 292617, bug 302304, and bug 303863.

Is this what you are experiencing?

This is WFM as described in comment #3, comment #5, and comment #6
