1829803 - Default browser notification displayed on the screen for more then 12h

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Default Browser Agent, defect)

Description

[Bogdan Maris, Desktop Test Engineering]

Found in

• Firefox 113.0b4

Affected versions

• Firefox 113.0b4
• Nightly 114.0a1

Tested platforms

• Affected platforms: Windows 11, Windows 10 (sometimes)
• Unaffected platforms: macOS 13 and Ubuntu 22.04

Steps to reproduce

1. Have Firefox as default browser
2. Run the default browser task from Task Scheduler
3. Make Edge the default browser
4. Run the default browser task again
5. Change the date with 12h forward

Expected result

• The notification is dismissed from the screen.

Actual result

• The notification stays on the screen indefinitely.

Regression range

• Not applicable in this case.

Additional notes

• This does not reproduce on Windows 10
• I used multiple VMs with W11 and two actual machines with W11 and I could reproduce this on all of them.
• I am not sure if this is something that is controlled by Windows or not.
• I think this is of a low severity because actual people will interact with the notification in a short time when is displayed, either dismiss it or selecting YES.
• We had this happen on Windows 10 as well but only a few times, sometimes after we switch the time to 12h in the future a few minutes more (2-3min) of waiting will cause the notification to disappear.
