Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

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

Description

[Alan Cox]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

Two windows open with multiple tabs in each.
The active tab in each window has a page with RSS/ATOM autodiscoverable feed(s).
In one window (call it A), clicking on the feed icon in the location/address bar gets the feeds belonging to the active tab in the other window (call it B).
The interference is one way: window B interferes with A but not vice versa.
Changing the active tab in window A makes no difference; any tab in A with autodiscoverable feeds shows the feed list from window B.
Changing the active tab in B, changes the feed list shown in A.
If the active tab in B has no feed(s), no feeds are listed in A, even though the feed icon is shown in the location bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open two windows
2. Open tabs with autodiscoverabel feeds in each
3. In each window, click on feed icon.
Actual Results:  
See Details

Expected Results:  
Correct feed(s) offered for subscription

P.S. To reproduce, it may be necessary to have FF set to "Show windows & tabs from last time" when starting and to close & restart FF after opening the two windows as described in 'steps to reproduce'.
