528423 - Add-ons Manager pops up to say "1 new add-on has been installed", but it's just the default theme

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Attachment: screenshot

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 9.04
2. Run Firefox 3.0
3. Download Firefox 3.5
4. Run Firefox 3.5

Result: Add-ons Manager pops up to say "1 new add-on has been installed", with the Themes tab selected.  It seems to be excited to tell me that I'm now using the default theme.

Expected: Serene first-run experience.

(Firefox 3.0 came with Ubuntu.  Firefox 3.5 came from mozilla.com.)

I have see this occasional mysterious installation notifications too on Windows, on clean profiles, and then the add-ons manager turned out to be empty.
Not sure when this started, and if this is the same bug.

This UI doesn't exist anymore.
