253823 - sidebar empty on first mozilla startup

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 213723

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Wouter Beek]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040730
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040730

When I started the mozilla nightly build and the browser window popped up on
first start, the sidebar was empty (no tabs). In the drop-down-list, listing the
available components, all previously enabled tabs were checked. This only
happens if you're updating from a previous version of mozilla, in which you left
the sidebar open the last time you used it, because on default the sidebar isn't
shown in new installs or newly added profiles.

The next time you start up the sidebar components are shown correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Close mozilla and leave the sidebar open (default profile).
2.Install the nightly build and open mozilla (with the same profile).
3.

Actual Results:  
The sidebar is empty.

Expected Results:  
The sidebar should contain the right tabs.
