Description

[Ronny Perinke]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031004 Minefield/3.0b5pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031004 Minefield/3.0b5pre

The Subscribe to This Page menu/menuitem is not updated, when you'r going back and forward from/to a website which provide some web feeds.
But it does, if you switched to another tab and then back again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit a website without feeds like www.google.com
2. visit a website with feeds like www.mozilla.org -> "Subscribe to This Page" active
3. go back to the previous page -> "Subscribe to This Page" disabled
4. go forward again to the page with the feeds
Actual Results:  
"Subscribe to This Page" remains disabled (as if there were no feeds)

Expected Results:  
"Subscribe to This Page" active and updated correctly

tried your STR, cannot reproduce... could this be due to my latest patch that have changed the Open All In Tabs behaviour (previously there was a throw in this popup since the code was trying to insert that bogus option when it's not needed).

could you retry with actual nightly?

I can still reproduce it

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008031205 Minefield/3.0b5pre

I've tested it both with all my extensions enabled and in safe-mode - same result.

It seems like some thing of timing problem or so. If I wait longer before going forward/back to the page with the feeds, the subscribe menu is active. But not if I switch faster between the sites.

I noticed this bug while running the BFT tests against Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090612 Firefox/3.5 ID:20090612061417

There are simple steps:
1. Open http://www.mozilla.org/
2. Subscribe to "Mozilla Announcements" with the internal RSS preview
3. Click the Back button

After step 3 the "Subscribe to this Page..." menu item is disabled.

Personally I cannot reproduce it on Windows right now. But the reporter has created this bug against Windows. So I think this should be x-platform. The steps are not easy all the way so here is a screencast of a possible way to reproduce: http://screencast.com/t/PwuhUDvHl

I cannot reproduce this issue. The "Subscribe to this page" is never active on either of the two mentioned web pages.
