400738 - History -> Recently Closed Tabs menu stays disabled

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Elmar Ludwig]

When I open the History menu for the first time in a new window, the "Recently Closed Tabs" submenu is disabled (grey), even if tabs have been closed in this window before. After closing the menu und opening it a second time, the "Recently Closed Tabs" menu is available. The error console does not show any error messages.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open new Firefox window
2. Open new tab (CTRL-T), load any page, close this tab
   (this can be repeated for any number of tabs)
3. Open History menu: "Recently Closed Tabs" is disabled
4. Close and reopen History menu: "Recently Closed Tabs" works correctly

When the history menu is first opened, I get the following Places related error (in PHM_onPopupShowing):

Regression range, checked by using hourly builds:

2007-10-12 17:28 - fail

There is only one checkin listed by bonsai:

-> fallout from bug 399476

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
