If a frame'd page contains the link:
<LINK REL="alternate" TITLE="my RSS" HREF="http://www.google.com"
TYPE="application/rss+xml">
in the html head, then when loading the frameset page, first, the RSS Discovery
icon is not displayed but when reloading, the icon is displayed.
Furthermore, when loading another page (in the same frameset) the icon is still
displayed.

Dupe of bug 305472?

Comment 3

[Phil Ringnalda (:philor)]

No, if anything it would be a dup+reopen of bug 274915, saying that the current
behavior isn't good enough. In bug 305472, Jesse's expected is to never discover
anything in any frame, though I haven't seen any explanation of why that would
be useful to counter the use-case of weblogs under cheap/free domain names that
just frame content hosted elsewhere. And deciding what to do about subframe
navigation isn't going to go anywhere useful until someone does a
thought-through design document. What's interesting here is that the reporter
doesn't see discovery on the first load, which I do.

Kim, do you see the RSS discovery icon on first load of the data: URL in bug
305472? Do you have any extensions installed, and does disabling them, or
starting in Safe Mode, or creating a fresh profile, give you the icon for that
or for your testcase without a refresh?

By creating a file with the text from BUG 305472 <iframe src="http://www.mozilla.org/"> and loading it in FF1.5 beta 2 the RSS Discovery icon is shown.
This also happens in Safe Mode.
And it happens on the first attempt.
Also, when loading the files from attachment, the RSS icon now shows up on the first attempt. So maybe this can be closed, because now the result on the first load is consistent with refreshes...
Suggested to close this.
