It's been failing intermittently since it was landed (bug 431729). Could be a timing issue, given that it uses a setTimeout. I've disabled it for now.

shouldn't be a timeout issue since it uses a setTimeout of zero so the load handlers fire

Comment 2

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

A setTimeout of 0 is a setTimeout of 10ms, and it can still introduce races if the machine is heavily bogged down (which is the case for the Linux unit test machines).

Attachment: The patch

This test has been disabled for quite some time, and it cannot be re-enabled because it uses nsIDownloadManager.

There is no point in having the file in the tree. Other existing tests, rather than one with an intermittent failure, are a better starting points if we ever want to write a front-end test for this functionality.

Comment 4

[:Paolo Amadini]

This is part of the work to remove all references to nsIDownloadManager.
