303414 - "clear all" option doesn't clear everything

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Menus, defect)

Description

[Seb]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When I go to the menu Tools / Options / Security and click on the "Clear All"
button, I notice that it doesn't work properly : "Saved Form Informations" is
not cleared (the button stays with a black writing and not gray as it should +
it is effectively not clearing those informations.) The same is happening with
"Download Manager History" and "Cookies" and "Cache".
It used to work with Mozilla 1.0.5, I've installed 1.0.6 this morning and it's
the first time it happens to me.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. browse the web as usual (any page, just to fill the cache etc.)
2. go to menu : tools / options / security
3. click on "clear all"
Actual Results:  
A popup warning me this will delete all information (...) comes up and I click
"Clear All Informations" in order to perform the operation anyway. Then a few
buttons turn to gray, but not all as they should.

Expected Results:  
All the buttons should have turn to gray, meaning the deleting has been done on
all these fields.

normal theme
normal XP family edition SP2

I can delete information by clicking on the six buttons one by one (except for
"cache" that won't clear by any mean...)

clearing options have been totally changed for the next version of Firefox.
It's now called "sanitize" and does clear everything

INVA ?

From your description it sounds like this is a problem with a theme/extension.
Do you see this same behavior in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

I runned Firefox in safe-mode as well explained
(run "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode)
And I clicked the "Clear All" button.
It worked perfectly.

So the idea it may be linked to a theme/extension seems to be right, however I
did not change/personalize anything: I use the default theme, the default
english install...

PS : What does "INVA" mean?
PS2 : Thanks for that quick reaction about this bug!
