278022 - Child options become enabled/disabled when they shouldn't by right-clicking parent

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Costa Galanis]

Tools > Options > Tabbed Browsing

- In the "Load the following in new tabs" section:
     - Right-click on one of the checkbox options (Browser's homepage, URLs in the
       address bar or Searches from the search bar)
          - Expected outcome: Nothing
          - Actual outcome: If the child radio buttons are enabled, they become
            disabled even though the checkbox is checked. If they are disabled,
            they become enabled, even though the checkbox is unchecked

Using Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2

That does sound confusing. However, you'll need to talk to the person who put
them there, which Google seems to think was probably the author of the
Tabbrowser Preferences extension. The only thing similar to that that's actual
Firefox is the (normally hidden) "Force links that open new windows" thing,
which doesn't have that bug, so it's an extension bug, rather than an extension
exposing a Gecko bug.

Oh whoops! I thought that was a built-in menu. I didn't realize the Tabbed
Browsing option was an extension. Sorry about that.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
