413043 - Different feeds, one atom and one rss, does not enable the multiple choice dropdown on the autodiscovery RSS icon

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 309085

(Firefox Graveyard :: RSS Discovery and Preview, defect)

Description

[Fabricio Campos Zuardi]

Attachment: A simplified testcase containing one atom and one rss

Steps to reproduce:

1- open a page that include on it's header 2 <link rel="alternate"... autodiscovery referrences, one using  type="application/atom+xml" and one using  type="application/rss+xml", use different title attribute for both references as well
2- click the orange rss icon

Expected behavior:
- a dropdown menu with both options appears for you to choose since they are two completely different feeds with different title attributes and different content

Actual behavior:
- Firefox opens the Atom feed automatically.


Feature parity:
Both Safari and IE works as expected, and prompt you with all the options to choose.

Real use case scenario:
Ning.com, a platform to build social networks allows users to drag different modules to the home page and some of this modules, like "Latest Activity", "Forum" and "Blog" generate feeds in different formats, some in atom and some in rss. If a Network Owner chooses to use 1 Forum module and 1 Latest Activity Module, Firefox will wrongly assume that the two links are different versions of the same thing, when in fact they are two completely different feeds, with different titles as well.

Simplified Testcases:
I will attach this 2 simplified testcases, one containing 3 links: atom, atom, rss that works as expected, and one containing 2 links: atom, rss, that doesnt work as expected. But they are also online at:
