132345 - tabbed browsing does not integrate with sidebar what's related

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 122723

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Tiago Freire]

Suppose I am navigating. I am at mozilla.org. I want to open a new tab to see
slashdot.org. What's related was showing mozilla.org 'relations', but when i tel
 tab #2 to see slashdot.org, it reloads the what's related with slashdot
'relations'. if i click on tab #1, to read mozilla.org, my what's related
sidebar is still showing slashdot's content, because it was ->The Last Opened
Page<-. To my end-user experience, I'd EXPECT to see information associated to
the page I am viewing, and when i switch tabs, information should switch
accordingly. I believe it should be cached to avoid overhead on the server.

confirming, however: marlon / jag, is this already a known issue?

jag,
The what's related tabs (mozilla and ns I believe) install document load
observers and get new related links based on the callbacks.  When tabbed
browsing tabs are changed the what's related code should be updated to observe
the current tab's doc.  What is the recommended strategy for us to do this in
the new world of tabbed browsing?  Thanks.

If you want to show "What's related" for the active tab, you'll need to hook up
to "select" events on the tab panels (gBrowser.mPanelContainer). These are fired
whenever the active tab changes.

Needs to be fixed separately  in both ns and mozilla since the codebases have
diverged.  Fix should be low-risk and fairly simple.  Nominating.  Without this,
What's Realted breaks once tab browsing is used.

nsbeta1- per Nav triage team. What's related is not installed by default, nor
are tabs active by default, so this affects few users, low impact.
