284530 - When upload dialog is open, a new instance of firefox would not respond

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 257121

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Benton Lam]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Find a page that allows you to upload files through HTML, and click on the
browse button.
Leave the dialog open, while start anothe instance of firefox, (eg Windows-R and
type firefox, click on the icon, etc). The new instance would not finish
loading, while the home page loads, eg the links bar under the URL bar is not
loaded, and you can't do certain functions, while some functions remain in
working order.
The page that I used is limited to students only, so it does not make a good
example. The page is served as https, instead of http, and I don't have a known
source of http page that allows uploads to test.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Find a webpage that allows uploads, preferably an https page
2.Click on the Browse button to open the upload dialog
3.start a new instance of firefox
4.Observe that new instance doesn't do much, except it responds to close.

Actual Results:  
Bookmark toolbar is not loaded properly, clicking on bookmarks does not go to
bookmarks. Edit->select all does not select all. turning off the bookmark
toolbar and restarting does not solves the problem. Opening the Tools->option
seems to fixes the problem. Close button works.
Swap to instance with the dialog and canceling it, and then swap back seems to
also fixes the problem

Expected Results:  
Should've loaded the bookmark toolbar properly, all menu function should work
properly.

First noticed after finish upgrading Firefox 1.0.1, occured roughly 15hours
before filing the bug.
