163608 - Quick launch won't exit with no windows and cannot bring up new windows

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: QuickLaunch (AKA turbo mode), defect)

Description

[Keith Hankin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020819
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020819

Quick launch has been totally broken in the last few nightly builds.  After the
last mozilla window has been closed, the option to exit quick launch is
disabled, so I cannot exit it without using Task Manager.  In addition, when I
double click on the Quick launch icon or the mozilla desktop icon, no new window
comes up so effectively Mozilla is hung.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Bring up browser with blank page.
2.Close the window immediately.
3.Quick launch is now broken.

If confirmed, there's a bug chance that it is related to fix for bug 119034
(Crash in XPCOM:EventReceiver or nothing happens if you start Moz quickly after
closing it), checked in on 13/08.

Unsure about that chance unless we can better define when the breakage occurred.
 Bug fix 119034 went in on the 8/13, a week ago which puts it outside of the
last few days.

Just FYI, Quick launch works for me in both a 8/13 mozilla 1.1 branch build and
a 8/20 trunk build.  Not saying I didn't cause it, but I am not seeing the
breakage offhand.

There's another bug, filed later, but it has a patch.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 163718 ***

[Dan M]

Reading more closely, I think this isn't bug 163718. Reopening. Note I can't
reproduce this bug. Quicklaunch works fine for me under these circumstances
(though my build has the fix for 163718 in it).

Can anyone reproduce this?  It's still UNCONFIRMED.

I had this exact same problem too. The fix, and I hate to call it a fix, was to
delete the folder c:\program files\mozilla.org AND the Mozilla folder in the
Application Data. Also, another symptom for me was that when the broswer opened,
I had lost all of my bookmarks on my personal toolbar and the URL would not show up.

[Keith Hankin]

I also had the problem where my personal bookmarks were wiped out too, in
addition to the problem specified by this bug.  I filed another bug for this
problem, not thinking the problems were related, but maybe they were.
