572595 - FF Home does not restore to portrait view after viewing modal dialogs

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Firefox Home, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

When switching from landscape mode and opening a modal dialog (portrait mode supported only), it will not switch back to landscape mode after exiting the dialog. 

Repro:
1) install beta 12
2) turn to landscape mode and browse around app
3) Click settings, and then "Sign out"
4) Notice the signout confirmation comes up in portrait mode only.  that's expected.  Now click "Cancel" to resume usage
5) Screen goes back to landscape mode as before.
6) now switch device back to portrait view.  Verify none of the menus persist to portrait mode again until you've exited the app.

Expected
- portrait mode resumed.

flagging for blocking 1.0

I'm unable to replicate this with the current build. Please verify once b13 or rc1 is available.

Reproduces in beta 13.

I need you to demo this.  I cannot cause it to happen using your steps.

Also, this is not a blocker for 1.0.

this is a flaky repro.  on beta 13, and it does happen, but not consistently.   i'll wait for others to comment in this bug if they see it.

The Firefox Home project has been retired, and Mozilla will no longer invest in future work on this project [1]. All bugs related to Firefox Home are being mass resolved.

For those interested in continuing work on this app, the source code for Firefox Home is available on Github [2].
