1019889 - Can't delete files in Windows if they have been opened in Firefox until I close the Firefox instance

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[spamonly]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140506152807

Steps to reproduce:

I wrote an HTML page including a <video> tag whose source was a local file (I used a relative path). I opened the page in Firefox, then closed the tab (keeping Firefox open), then tried to delete the video from Windows.


Actual results:

A dialog opened telling me that the file couldn't be deleted because it was open in Firefox, despite the page no longer being open. I had to quit Firefox entirely before I could delete the video.


Expected results:

The video should have been deletable as soon as the tab that was using it was closed.

Like bug 984150, and same WFM on Fx30 Win8.1.

By ogg file within video tag, place to same local folder with html file.
The ogg file is unlocked after closed the tab about 10 seconds.

Can you reproduced in a clean profile and be patient wait one minute?
