User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-PT; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; pt-PT; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I play a game that uses a Firefox plugin called Galaxy toolbar for Ogame web game.
That plugin uses a webpage database and can identify multiple universes/logins that are identifyed (as ie: uni8.ogame.com.pt; uni3.ogame.com.pt...) each one reports to a diferent database page (Galaxy tool). I had instaled a diferent language of the firefox and realize that dont have the bug, I presume that is only on the pt_PT version. The plugin reports well only when refreshing the page.
That does not happen with other language of firefox. In linux version happens the same. Maybe gots the same problem in MacOS or other sistems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
You got to have 2 Galaxy tool running http://www.galaxytool.eu/galaxytool_4_4.tar.gz and configured for the universe that will serve.
You got to have the plugin http://www.galaxytool.eu/galaxyplugin.xpi
And 2 accounts, each one in diferents universes of the game (ogame.org)
have to configure the plugin for each database page, for each universe.
1.open 2 tabs for login in diferent universes
2.Already logged, click the general link of the game in the 2 tabs
3.tab 1 click in buildings, and the plugin reports to the right universe database
4.tab 2 click in buildings, and reports to the wrong universe database
5.tab 2 clicking again in buildings reports right to the correct universe
Actual Results:  
Is necessary to refresh the tab for the pluging to get the right value of the tab variables

Expected Results:  
No refresh was to be needed as others languages of firefox

I dont know for sure, but someone could exploit this bug...
In this case I got databases scrambled, could be worth.

Thank you

Can you still reproduce it with Firefox 3.5.2?

Yes I can.

Is a weird bug, im not sure if it only happens with the pt_PT version...

After changing tab the galaxytool FF plugin reports well to the correct database after clicking 2 times in any link.

In step 4 of your comment 0 what does wrong database mean? The account of the user from tab 1? And can you please test in en-US again? This is not a localization bug and should happen in each version. In my understanding something could be wrong with cookies.

Please don't attach .rar files to the bug. So you also see it in en-US builds? Can you please try the same in Internet Explorer or any other available browser if it happens there too?

That's impossible, the plugin is only for the firefox,
I've already talk with the plug-in programmer and seems that he don't have the error;
I've put a bug-tracker on his plug-in, then I've put here.
the plug-in seems to run well but with kind of 'refresh', had you seen the video?

Is like the variables that have FF to parse are refreshed after that kind of refresh.

the plug-in url is:

Ok, as what I can see it should really be a plug-in issue. Move it into core:plugins for now.

Mario, where is the bug report you have filed on the Galaxytoolbar website? Further check http://en.wiki.galaxytool.eu/index.php/Toolbar_usage and enable the debug output. Attach the output to the bug you have filed on the Galaxytoolbar website.

I believe this is invalid.

Without detailed information from the author of this plugin, we have to assume it's a bug in the plugin.

Thank you all for your time, I had reported at same time in the plugin bug-page, cos Im not expert with this report this in the two places. Thankyou

As long as we don't know how this plugin is working in detail this bug is incomplete. Mario, if in the other bug report the author states that it is not a bug in the plugin itself please forward him to this place. Thanks.
