1101244 - [e10s] Tab crashed 'Try Again' button doesn't always work

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 963358

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0
Build ID: 20141118030201

Steps to reproduce:

When a tab crashes there is a 'Try again' button. Sometimes that button doesn't work. I just started using these e10s nightlies and I'm crashing occasionally (see my other bug reports for context if you want) and often randomly. I'd say about 1/3rd of the time the try again button does nothing. Clicking the reload button always works regardless.

An easy way to reproduce this is bug #1101238 that will cause all tabs to crash.

Afterwards about half the tabs the try again button does nothing.


Actual results:

.


Expected results:

That depends but at the very least 'Try again' should load the tab I am in when I click on it.

Also, frankly when all tabs crash I think it would be good for there to be an option to reload all tabs. I understand from some other report that people want the ability to reload a single tab and I think that's useful, but if Firefox is aware all tabs have crashed there should be an additional button to reload all tabs.

Also, there is a similar open bug #963358 however that is for tabs with flash content. All my plugins are set to ask to activate except OpenH264. I typically have not enabled plugins on any page including many of those where the 'Try again' button doesn't work.

Another note, I said I'm crashing occasionally but that is not correct. What is correct is Nightly freezes occasionally and I have to terminate it.
