415955 - Session tracking does not work when a POST page is involved.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Shawn Wilsher :sdwilsh]

As a result of bug 94514, our session tracking is broken for any session that has a page that is gotten to with a POST request.  We need to extend nsIGlobalHistory to better deal with POST request pages.

Requesting wanted-firefox3, but drivers may feel that blocks too...

This does not block the final release of Firefox 3.

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.

sessions are borked in many ways, unused (the ui was never activated), and we also removed support from treeviews since was making the code complex without providing any useful gain. resolving wontfix.
