575290 - Tabs-on-top switch to tab-on-bottom when the user switches users

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 574739

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Josh Tumath]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; en-US; rv:1.9.3a6pre) Gecko/20100628 Minefield/3.7a6pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; en-US; rv:1.9.3a6pre) Gecko/20100628 Minefield/3.7a6pre

When this happens, the tab toolbar goes to the bottom. However, the browser still *thinks* that the tabs are on top, because the navigation bar still has a blue background and the "Tabs on Top" is checked in the menu bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press Windows Logo + L to switch users (or use the start menu), with Minefield still open. You need to switch users; not just lock your user account.
2. Log back in again.
3. Look at the tabs toolbar.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that it can be fixed by turning off tabs-on-top and turning them back on again.

I've made a request for it to block Firefox 4.

If that's the case, then I'll mark this as a duplicate.
