245343 - software update dialog closes itself

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 245341

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Steffen Wilberg]

The first time you doubleclick the software update area, the dialog appears and
you have to click Finish. The second time you open it, it disappears after about
a second. After that, it just flashes up and vanishes again.

This may be a separate bug or it might somehow be related, but when the update
wizard is launched by double-clicking the status bar it shows the "Firefox
encountered problems" button (clicking on it lists all extensions installed),
but when the wizard is launched from the EM it doesn't encounter any problems
(either way Ethereal shows the update file is being read).

I see this as well after installing an extension which supports updating (TBE).
Before I installed that, it was the other way round:
When called from the status bar, the wizward said it was unable to find updates.
When called from the extension/theme mgr, it said it encountered problems.

Now that's what I call efficient. Two bugs fixed with a one-line patch!
I haven't read the code, but the fix for bug 245341 also fixes this one. If I
remove the pref again, this bug reappers.

Spun off comment 2/comment 3 into Bug 246417 since it wasn't fixed by the checkin.
