586992 - all tabs except app tabs disappeared

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

i was turning some tabs into app tabs, and suddenly all non-app tabs disappeared.

note: i had not opened tabview at all since restarting the browser.

after the disappearance, i went to tabview, and all my tabs (app + disappeared) were in a stack (not group) in the bottom right-hand corner.

workaround: move all in the stack into a group, open the group. you're back to where you started. except you have to manually re-order the tabs back into position.

blocking for investigation. this especially shouldn't happen when someone hasn't opened tabview at all.

I suppose for now, you can skip the manual part with this to put them into one group I believe:

Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm"); e = Services.wm.getEnumerator("navigator:browser"); while (e.hasMoreElements()) { w = e.getNext().document.getElementById("tab-view").contentWindow; w.GroupItems.removeAll(); g = new w.GroupItem([], { bounds: { left: 0, top: 0, width: 400, height: 400 }, title: "all pages" }); w.TabItems.getItems().forEach(function(i) { if (i.parent) i.parent.remove(i); g.add(i, null, {animate: false}) }); }

It's basically getting some of the fix from bug 574875.

I believe this will be fixed when we fix 574875.

Still happens in today's nightly

Comment 6

[Ian Gilman [:iangilman]]

This should be fixed by the patch in bug 586693, which landed on Trunk today.

Aza suggests that mitcho is unavailable, and Ian should own this. -> Ian

I don't think the issue has been fixed.
In today's nightly a new window opens with the http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minefield/ tab as the only tab. Tab view still shows this tab in the bottom right-hand corner when according to the video on the same interface it should show in the upper left-hand corner. (And other videos such as the one in http://vimeo.com/13560319 shows the same thing)

Can you try an hourly build with this fix? What platform are you on? This only happens for *new windows*?

With nightly 20100816131239 fc2a78c0ac8d and clean profile just now the first TabView run puts the two welcome windows nice and big in the big tab group on the left.

I will try if you give me the hourly build link. I'm on Windows 7. It happens with *new windows* and fresh profiles.

What platform are you on? Could you please send me the link to your nightly so I can try again?
