1193685 - The "Sync enabled" notification stays on during and after sync

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[Florin Mezei, QA (:FlorinMezei)]

Attachment: sync_sign_in_notification.png

Reproducible with: 
- Firefox 41 Beta 1 - BuildID: 20150811185633

Reproducible on: Mac OS X 10.9.5, Windows 7 x64, Ubuntu 12.04 x86

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Firefox with a clean profile and choose to sign-in/sign-up to Sync.
2. After sign-in click the hamburger menu button to open the menu, before Sync starts, so you can see when sync starts and ends.
3. Wait for the "Sync enabled" notification to appear.

Expected results: the notification displays before the sync, then disappears when (or soon after) sync starts.

Actual results: the "Sync enabled" notification is displayed until dismissed. If the hamburger menu is not open then the user may not have any indication if the sync started or completed already. The user will just keep seeing the notification telling him/her: "Firefox will begin sync momentarily". After sync starts/completes the message is irrelevant and confusing.

Notes:
- this is not a regression

We've changed how this is shown - it's now a notification.
