323635 - closing FF doesn't trigger auto-kill in historykill 2005

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[i-mundy]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Closing last window of FireFox1.5 goes undetected by HistoryKill, and so HistoryKill option called "Auto-Kill on Last Browser Window Close" dont work no more, boo hoo! 

Previous versions of FireFox triggered "Auto-Kill on Last Browser Window Close" in HK just fine. Also, closing the last Internet Explorer window still triggers Auto-Kill in HistoryKill.

I have tried HistoryKill 2002 and HistoryKill 2005. both bersions of HK performed auto-kill with earlier versions of FireFox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install firefox 1.5 on XP Pro SP2 installation that has not had FireFox on it before, or contains no traces of a previous version of FF installation.

2.check that "Auto-Kill on Last Browser Window Close" is selected in HistoryKill Auto-Kill/Boss-Key tab

3.open FireFox

4.close FireFox

Actual Results:  
Auto-Kill did not happen

Expected Results:  
Auto-Kill should have initiated

closing Thunderbird or Internet Explorer still triggers historykill auto-kill.

What is this HistoryKill Auto-Kill/Boss-Key stuff? Sounds like an extension to me, and thusly not firefox's fault but the extension author's.

Not an extension, but a seperate program, still not a firefox issue. Report this to the history kill support guys.
