1289647 - Reader mode icon disappears with multiple content processes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Content Processes, defect)

Description

[Jared Lockhart [:jlockhart]]

Steps to reproduce:

1) set about.config: dom.ipc.processCount to 5
2) open multiple tabs with content in them
3) go to a page that supports reader mode such as https://dougseven.com/2014/04/17/knightmare-a-devops-cautionary-tale/
4) enable reader mode by clicking the reader mode icon on the awesome bar
5) switch to another tab

Behaviour starts getting weird at this point.  Switching to other tabs will keep the yellow 'reader mode enabled' icon even though there is no reader mode on other tabs.  The URL bar will fail to update between tabs and show the wrong URL.  Tabbing back to the tab that I enabled reader mode in will not have the reader mode icon, will show the wrong URL in the awesome bar.  Things just get weird.

Hi Jared, none of us on the e10s-multi team can reproduce this with your STR. Do you have any extensions installed that might affect this? Can you re-test to see if you can still reproduce?

Closing as WFM. If you can still reproduce this, feel free to re-open.

I just tried to reproduce and was unable to, it seems to behave correctly in all the examples I listed above.
