553771 - Refresh button should be disabled while viewing about:addons

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Blair McBride [:Unfocused] (UNAVAILABLE)]

Reloading the extension manager tab will reload the discover pane.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load extension manager
2. Select dicover pane, wait for AMO to load
3. Select Features pane
4. Reload extension manager tab

Results:
The URL that was loaded in the discover pane will reload, even though the discover pane is not selected. For some reason, the rest of the extension manager UI doesn't initialize until the discover pane has finished loading.

Expected results:
The discover pane should load about:blank - loading AMO only when the discover pane is selected again.

Kind of think we should be disabling the refresh button, don't really know whether this should block or not though.

Hmm, I hadn't considered that. Boriss?

I'm not seeing this any more, is this still a problem?

Yes, still a problem for me.

Once the browser chrome goes away in bug 571970 this becomes a non-issue

I thought bug 571970 would only hide the refresh button (and other UI) - it'd still be possible to use the main menu or keyboard shortcut, no?

There should not longer be any need to disable the refresh button as refreshing should take us back to where we were with bug 562797 fixed.
