351636 - empty sidebar when proxy requests password

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Heino Wachter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060729 SeaMonkey/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060729 SeaMonkey/1.0.4

When starting the browser behind a firewall requesting for a password, sometimes the sidebar is empty. Restarting only the browser window doesn't help. I have to close all mozilla windows, restart the browser and hope the best! Sometimes the sidebar is empty during password request and appears after typing the password, but often (50%) not. This behaviuor is an very old one. I hoped that it would be solved in each new version.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start seamonkey behind a proxy requesting for a password
2. type in seamonkeys masterpassword
3. klick ok for the offered proxy account and password

Actual Results:  
Browser shows the starting page, but sidebar is empty and filld with an explanation how to create sidebars

Expected Results:  
show my original sidebar

First time I fear that my sidebar may have disapeared, but the bookmarks.html was still present and will come back if the start is more successful

Could you verify whether you experience this issue in a recent release of SeaMonkey? Please also consider resolving this if all is well. Thanks.

No reply from reporter.

SeaMonkey v1.0.x is not supported anymore.

(Would have been "Incomplete", now is) R.Invalid

Reopen if you can reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9.
