Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Session Restore, defect)

Description

[Bill M.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Enable or disable any extension and choose RESTART button, the above site loops continuously trying to display content. The issue can be repeated with 100% success rate. If I restart Firefox manually, the above site opens as expected. Error in the RESTART button in Add-Ons option.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make the following web site the default start page: https://mypima.pima.edu/cp/home/displaylogin
2. Add an add-on (Better YouTube is a good test) and click on the RESTART button in the add-on/extensions/themes window. Approve the restarting of Firefox.
3. On restart, Firefox loops continuously showing "connecting" and flashing progress bar until the STOP button is pressed.
Actual Results:  
Firefox loops continuously showing "connecting" and flashing progress bar until the STOP button is pressed.

Expected Results:  
The above URL should have opened without hesitation, and not continuously looped with "connecting" and progress bar flashing.

The above action can be resolved by closing the Add-ons window and simply quitting Firefox and starting again.

Alas, I can't reproduce this. Can you retest with a newly created profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile

OK - here's how I am able to reproduce this issue again:
1. I tossed out previous, fresh profile (this is a new image being developed for a PC with Windows XP SP2)
2. started Firefox and went through new profile screens,
3. set home page to http://mypima.pima.edu (which resolves to the secure logon page)
4. Chose Tools-->Add-ons, chose Get Add-ons and selected TwitterFox (easy choice from list of extensions)
5. clicked RESTART button
Firefox closes/re-opens and continuously loops with connecting/waiting and flashing progress thermometer bar until I press STOP.

Go back into Add-ons screen and disable any of the extensions and simply close the Add-ons screen and quite Firefox, re-open and above link/home page opens as expected.

I hope that helps.

Reporter, can you please test with the latest firefox and check whether you are able to reproduce the same.

As with comment 3, I cannot reproduce.  As per [closeme] tag, resolving WORKSFORME.

Comment 5

This bug appears to be fixed - possibly due to Firefox change and/or change to community college's portal system logon page being dramatically changed to be only a logon portal and not showing content/access pages.

Thanks for the follow-up! Keep up the good work with making Firefox an awesome browser!
