283179 - "New Updates Available / Click Here to View" box is appearing repeatedly, over and over again, clicking has no effect

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 280603

(Toolkit :: Application Update, defect)

Description

[Richard Aspden]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050221 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050221 Firefox/1.0+

On the latest nightly build, the New Updates Available box has gone slightly
psycho, appearing over and over again on top of itself. Clicking has no effect. 

I just confirmed that there is in fact an update available for one of my
extensions, but the box keeps coming up, and doesn't bring up the "Updates
found" box. Memory usage is fluctuating, but not ballooning, so it's probably
removing some old ones.



Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Unknown. I assume it's to do with the automatic update system.
Actual Results:  
Nothing. The download didn't come down, either.

Expected Results:  
Notified once (if there is indeed an update), and loaded the "Software Update"
screen on click.

My copy of Firefox is being a little flakey anyway, temporarily locking on
startup, which appears to be down to an extension which I haven't identified
yet. Not sure if that's related though.
