Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11pre) Gecko/20110129 Firefox/4.0b11pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b11pre) Gecko/20110129 Firefox/4.0b11pre

Twice this morning the status panel gave useless or obsolete information.

Once the panel said "Waiting for ebay-static.com..." when the page being displayed was not eBay. I had previously opened eBay tabs, but all the eBay tabs were closed. The current tab had completely loaded and should not have been using eBay.

Once the status panel said "Done". The was accurate, but I didn't expect that message to persist (or even be displayed at all).

In both cases the message went away when I closed the current tab, and before I thought to get a screen shot.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

After some more experimentation, the persistent "Done" message seems to be related to the Auto Context extension (<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/auto-context/>).

Auto Context may be orphaned. The home page shown when I click "more" in the Add-ons Manager appears to go to a hosting company page. It isn't updated for Firefox 4, but it seems to work other than this "Done" side effect.

From what I understand from Comment 1, this is an Add-On issue. Switching resolution to Resolved Invalid.

Feel free to comment this bug if you consider I was wrong.
