630452 - Status popup bar in bottom left doesn't get closed for certain sites

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Halberstadt [:ahal]]

While visiting http://thedivingboard.org/ I noticed that the new status popup bar in the bottom left wasn't going away after the page had finished loading. The popup bar wasn't frozen, i.e it still moved to the other side of the screen on mouse hover.

This was consistently reproducible within my browser session but I wasn't able to reproduce upon restarting Firefox.

Can you attach a Screenshot showing the last Loading Step?
Is the Circle in the Tab Bar still spinning at that Step?

I ran into this issue yesterday and had two tabs open at the time.
about:config and some web site. I closed the web site and then noticed that the loader was still visible.

If I opened a tab, went to a page in the new tab and then closed it, the status in the bottom left would still be visible and contain information pertained to the closed tab.

Works for me. Please try if it works fine by creating a new profile.

Sorry, I should have made it more clear. After restarting the browser I wasn't able to reproduce this anymore.  I think at the time I had gmail and reddit open in different tabs. It was only within my browser session that I was able to reproduce this (i.e I was able to refresh/close the tab and it would still happen when I reloaded the page).

I'm using the nightlies, but I haven't seen this bug occur since. I'm fine with resolving WFM if Mehdi is.

Also haven't seen this issue in a while.
