301665 - problematic site "copies" itself to multiple other tabs

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050719 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050719 Firefox/1.0+

The problem began when I was viewing
http://familyguy.wikicities.com/wiki/The_Cleveland-Loretta_Quagmire/Transcript
and possibly when browsing around the site.  The site (layout, text, etc.) will
transfer to multiple other tabs.  The URL stays the same as it was previous to
the anomaly but if the user tries to reload the page, it will continue to only
display the problematic site.  The only way to view the correct page, of course,
is to go to a different site and input the URL again.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1. browse http://familyguy.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page.
2. switch to tabs to the left and/or right of the problematic page.
3.
Actual Results:  
The other tabs in close proximity to the FG site should now be that same site.

Expected Results:  
Tabs should contain the site that was there previous to viewing the FG site.

Michael, are you using any extensions with Firefox? Since the landing of bug
179656 a lot of tab-related extensions have been misbehaving.

Comment 3

[Michael]

Ah yes, I'm using All-In-One-Mouse-Gestures v0.15.2.  The possibility that my
tabbing extension might be misbehaving never occurred to me.  That has to be the
culprit.

Michael, if you cannot reproduce this with a clean profile then you should
resolve it as WORKSFORME. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager

I've tried to reproduce this behavior a few times, but have unfortunately been
unable to.

The problem seems to stem from the new "tab dragging" feature.  I (accidentally)
dragged and dropped a tab, which appears to have resulted in problems displaying
pages contained in three different tabs.  It is likely the three problem pages
were created to the left and right to where the tab was dropped (including the
dropped tab).  This is the only cause for the anomaly that I can find, simply
due to the fact that beforehand, all pages were displaying correctly.

Okay, if you can't reproduce without any extensions, then it's probably a
problem with your "tabbing extension", whatever it may be. 

For what it's worth, I had this same problem when using Focus Last Selected Tab.
It's going to take a while for the tabbed browsing extensions to get updated to
work with the new tabbed brower code.
