1714725 - Empty list shown in "Text Encoding" and "Web Developer" options

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Srik Wanar]

Attachment: EmptyList.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0

Steps to reproduce:

Click to open the application menu, then select More->Text Encoding or Web Developer

Actual results:

It shows an empty list.
When I create a new profile, the "Text Encoding" option totally disappears, and "Web Developer" becomes "More Tools" which may have slightly different set of submenus.

Expected results:

A list of text encodings and tools should be shown.
It works fine in nightly 91.0a1 (2021-06-03) (64-bit), and degenerates in the 06-04's build.

You mention a new profile, but a new profile doesn't have a "Text Encoding" or a "Web Developer" menu.

Given that the menu in your screenshot has icons, that's not the Proton UI. Did you disable Proton from about:config?

I can reproduce on 90.0b3 and 91.0a1(2021-06-05) BuildID 20210605211222 after setting browser.proton.enabled to false and then restarting Firefox.

Given that flag is supposed to be removed in 91, I assume this would make this bug a WONTFIX.

In the old profile, the menu remains unchanged when I toggled the browser.proton.enabled switch.
I see that the new UI won't have "Text Encoding" menu, then how can I change the page encoding in new versions?

I think some proton prefs don't take full effect until you restart the browser.
As for the Text Encoding menu in Proton, you might want to watch bug 1702914 and/or bug 1706566.

Sounds like there isn't a bug actually here. I'll close this as invalid.
