1180529 - White bar at the bottom that grows in size while trying to use Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Alan]

Attachment: FirefoxBug.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0
Build ID: 20150630154324

Steps to reproduce:

Open Firefox (reproduces immediately, always).  This only happens on Firefox Developer Edition and not regular Firefox.  I am on build 41.0a2 (2015-07-05).


Actual results:

As I try to use Firefox, a bar at the bottom that is white starts to grow vertically until the webpage uses up a small number of pixels and I have to give up.  Both dismissing the prompt on launch to make Firefox my default browser and navigating to another webpage both cause the white bar to grow.  I have attached screenshots to demonstrate.


Expected results:

No white bar should be present.

I just narrows this problem down to the "The Camelizer - Price Tracker" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-Us/firefox/addon/the-camelizer-price-history-ch/) add on being enabled.  I don't know if the compatibility breakage is coming from something in Firefox 41 or the add-on itself.

Do I report this issue elsewhere?

Whoever you need info from about a jetpack change, it isn't me.

Tracking for 40, 41, 42 because regression.

Comment 6

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

The add-on has been broken by the intentional removal of an API it depends on. The API in question has been logging deprecation warnings to the console for over a year. The add-on needs to be updated here, it isn't something we will fix in Firefox.
