481913 - In certain instances "View Cookies" button in Page Info does not open Cookies dialog

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 483370

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect)

Description

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Seen while running Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3) Gecko/20090305 Firefox/3.1b3.

STR:
1. With several windows full of tabs open, focus a tab and open Tools | Page Info
2. Go to the Security Tab and click on "View Cookies"
3. Pressing the button does nothing

Expected: I would see the View Cookies dialog

No error appear in the Error Console or in the Mac Console. I have seen this behavior on two separate machines.  Although I was not able to reproduce it with a fresh profile yet, the 2 machines I used had no addons installed.

The Cookie window is still open but is hidden and not brought to foreground when clicking the view cookies button. That's why you are not able to see the window.

Curiously the cookie window can be brought to foreground when going over the preferences and what we have seen on Marcia's machine.

To clarify, it is hidden in the sense it is not minimized anywhere on my desktop or in the Dock.

Attachment: Screenshot of Windows

Here is a quick screenshot of what my Window menu looks like when I am in this state. Notice the "Cookies" entry - selecting it does nothing seems it seems it is invisible.

That's because of bug 483370. There is already a patch attached, so I'll dupe this one.
