(Firefox :: Migration, defect, P3)

Description

[Alexandru Trif, Desktop QA [:atrif]]

Attachment: chromium_not_shown_00.gif

Found in

• 114.0a1 (2023-04-26)

Affected versions

• 114.0a1 (2023-04-26)
• 113.0b8 (disabled)

Tested platforms

• Affected platforms: macOS 12, Windows 10x64, Ubuntu 20.04
• Unaffected platforms: none

Preconditions

• browser.migrate.content-modal.enabled:true

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Firefox and Chrome
2. Create a new profile in Chrome and add at least one bookmark.
3. Open the migration window and search for the created profile at step 3.

Expected result

• The profile is displayed.

Actual result

• The newly created profile is not displayed.

Regression range

• Most likely started with the implementation of the new Import Wizard Experience. I will search for one ASAP if there is one. The newly created profile is displayed on the old Import Wizard experience.

Additional notes

• Attached a screen recording.
• The issue does not reproduce after a Firefox restart.
• This only happens if Firefox is opened when a new profile or new data is added in the browsers we are migrating from.
• Sometimes new profiles appear so the issue may be intermittent.

It seems that this started with bug 1821744. I even tried Firefox 112.0a1 (2023-03-05) with browser.migrate.content-modal.enabled:true and this is still reproducible. I am setting bug 1821744 as the regressor.

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1821744

:mconley is the priority/severity still accurate now that the pref is no longer limited to Nightly and impacts Fx115?

Comment 5

[Mike Conley (:mconley) (:⚙️)]

Yes, I'd still stand by that priority / severity. I suspect the majority of users that are migrating data or doing so on older profiles on other browsers, and not profiles that were created while Firefox was open.
