Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040721
Firefox/0.9.1+ 

I can also confirm the following behavior with Thunderbird. Mozilla I havn't
testes yet. If there is a better component just update please.

My profiles of FF and TB are stored on mapped network drives (Samba). Sometimes
I don't close my application before I switch to the hibernation mode. In that
case I run in trouble after restarting the pc. Following alert (translated) will
be displayed when trying to work with FF or TB:

"Not all data could be saved for file
\Device\LanmanRedirector\file-server\skupin\anwendungsdaten\firefox\Cache\_CACHE_002_.
The data get lost. A possible reason could be computer hardware or network
connections. Please try to save the data on another location."

It seems that this alert will be displayed only when history data is saved.
Following additional files are also affected:

_CACHE_001_
history.dat

After restarting FF/TB the alert boxes never show up until the next wakeup of
the pc.

Asking for blocker because we have dataloss here.

Comment 3

not a PR blocker.  From the look of the error, we're failing to reconnect after
hibernate, or possibly Windows is.

This probably should be under a Networking component in Browser anyway.

Mozilla Firebird 1.0 [build # 20041107] and Mozilla Thunderbird [version 1.0 
build # 20041206] both fail to resume their functions when a wirelessly
connected Toshiba laptop is awakened from hibernation. A shutdown and restart of
Firebird/Thunderbird does not solve the problem. However, Internet Explorer will
startup and connect properly in the same circumstance. Both Firebird and
Thunderbird report they are unable to connect even though the wireless
connection reports 'connected' and signal strength excellent. Operating system
on the Toshiba is Windows XP Home with SP2. 

The wireless connection comes via an AT&T wireless router model 6850G connected
to Netopia DSL modem. Sometimes the problem can be solved by disable/enable of
the wireless connection, but most commonly it requires a reboot of the laptop to
make Firebird/Thunderbird function normally.

I lost this bug out of my focus the last month. Now I discovered the dataloss
again while working with network profiles. Every time when the network is
reconnected within the current session no data can be written to the network.
After restarting Firefox all is working fine until the network is diconnected
and connected again.

Moving to network without changing assignee/qa seems rather unlikely to work out well.

should this get hooked up to bug 139562?

Since the last comment here is very old and Windows 2000 is no longer supported, I will close this issue as incomplete.
In case this is still reproducible using more recent versions of Windows, please feel free to re-open and provide additional info. Thank you!
