(Thunderbird :: Add-Ons: General, defect)

Description

[Onno Ekker [:nONoNonO UTC+1]]

Attachment: Add add-on prompt.png

If you have more than one mail window opened and you install an add-on, the installation is triggered more than one time.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right-click on a folder in the folder pane and select Open in New Window;
2. Go to the Add-ons Manager and install an add-on (either by dropping it on the tab, or install it from the search results or from a file;
3. You get prompted to install the add-on: either click Add or Cancel;

Result:
You get prompted again (and again if you have more mail windows open).

Expected results:
Installation should be triggered only once.

Still persists in 78.2.0-pre build 1 on Linux x64. At least in that combination, I get two (!) additional prompts for each window opened in the same session, even if that window is already closed.

@darktrojan is it ok to assign this bug to you? it's probably caused by bug 1621841, which you filed and for which you created the patch...

Haven't got a clue on what fixed it though, looks like august 25 also was 82.0a1...

Maybe someone else can confirm the issue is resolved?
