1119218 - UITour: Hello events are not received once a second tab is opened that also uses Mozilla.UITour.observe()

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1110602

(Firefox :: Tours, defect)

Description

[Alex Gibson [:agibson]]

STR:

1) Tour page does: Mozilla.UITour.observe((...rest) => console.log("observed", rest))
2) User opens same tour page in a new tab
3) User closes the newly opened tour page and gets switched back to #1
4) Firefox does UITour.notify(…)

Expected results:

The original tab should still receive Loop events.

Actual results:

The original tab no longer receives Loop events.

Please note that using Page Visibility API to re-register the event listener does not work in this instance.

This bug should be fixed by the patch in bug 1110602 but I don't understand how this part can happen.

Alex, can you see if the quote in comment 1 is still a problem. If not, can you dupe this to bug 1110602?
