264379 - bookmark scheduler will ignore bookmarks if not enough check time given

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[long]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; IRIX64 IP35; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041012
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; IRIX64 IP35; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041012

I have somewhere around 340 bookmarks that I had scheduled to check for updates
from 9 AM to 6 PM every 60 minutes.  The bookmark scheduler loops through the
bookmarks and picks a new one to check every 15 seconds it appears.  Thus, in
about 1 hour it can check 240 bookmarks.  However, when it gets to the end of
the hour it goes back to the beginning of the bookmarks and starts checking them
again because 60 minutes has passed.  Thus the 100 bookmarks at the end of my
file never get checked for updates, all without any kind of warning.  If I set
all the bookmarks to be checked every 240 minutes then everything works as
expected.  I would expect Mozilla to either warn the user or to automatically
adjust things so that all bookmarks get checked.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create set of 340 bookmarks.
2. Schedule them to check for updates all day long every 60 minutes.


Actual Results:  
Only the first 240 or so ever get checked for updates.


Expected Results:  
Either warn me that update checking won't function properly or automatically
adjust to check all the bookmarks.
