Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Top Sites, defect, P2)

Description

[Valentina Virlics [:vvalentina], VPN QA]

Attachment: 6tiles.gif

[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Nightly 81.0a1 (Build ID 20200809213940)
• Firefox Beta 80.0b6 (Build ID 20200807195315);

[Affected Platforms]:

• Windows 10;

[Prerequisites]:

• Have the Firefox Beta 80.0b6 “US” build installed;
• Have the following prefs set in “about:config”:
  -- browser.newtabpage.searchTileOverride.amazon.attributionURL: https://topsites.services.mozilla.com/cid/amzn_2020_a1;
  -- browser.newtabpage.searchTileOverride.amazon.url: https://www.amazon.com/?tag=admarketus-20&ref=pd_sl_a77559ED8D65ZZAA12%YYYYMMDDHH%;
  -- browser.search.region: US;

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open a new Firefox profile using the build from prerequisites.
2. Navigate to the about:config page and set the preferences from prerequisites.
3. Open a new tab page.
4. Pin all 6 tiles available in the Top Sites section.
5. Form the section context menu select the" Add Search Engine option".
6. Add the Amazon search engine.
7. Observe the top sites tiles behavior.

[Expected result]:

• Amazon URL tile (first position in top sites section) is replaced by the Amazon search engine tile.

[Actual result]:

• The Amazon search engine tile is put in the 7’th position, and the first tile position becomes empty.

[Notes]:

• If we have 8 tiles, all pinned, and following the exact steps from above, we end up with the Amazon search engine tile missing, and the second tile position empty.

Hey Valentina, could this be closed? I don't believe this functionality is the latest one in the current Firefox Versions, could you please check?

Closing this as resvoled:incomplete due to lack of updates and the functionality has changed since.
