1044938 - [zh-CN] multiple failures in regards to loading localhost

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1041420

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: Mozmill Tests, defect, P1)

Description

[Andrei Eftimie]

This is related to bug 1041420.
Probably also blocks 354493.

Not yet sure why this is different on zh-CN.
In `zh-CN` we do have `browser.startup.homepage=http://start.firefoxchina.cn` which is a real page instead of a local page `about:home` which we have on other locales.

Not sure why:

1) `localhost` is behaving differently when starting from a local vs an external domain (is this expected behaviour? I would expect not. We might find some answers in bug 354493)

2) We issue a closeAllTabs() which should leave us in a predictable state (with 1 tab open on 
`controller.window.BROWSER_NEW_TAB_URL`).
This is a bit confusing since the pref `browser.newtab.url` is the same in both en-US and zh-CN at "about:newtab". So why are at "about:home" instead?

Daniel, could you please look into this?

That's the same problem as in bug 1041420.

The problem is reproducing on all locales following this steps:
1. Access a remote page (www.google.com).
2. Access "about:newtab".
3. Access localhost - FAILS because we accessed a remote page before on this tab.

On Aurora zh-CN we got those failures because "browser.startup.homepage" is not set to "about:home" but to "http://start.firefoxchina.cn/", so we do all the steps above even using "controller.closeAllTabs()" in setupModule.
