Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[wrhenshaw99]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0b6) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b6

I open Firefox.  I go in and make a few customizations to the toolbars (I add the activity indicator, I remove the Bookmarks button, and I select to display the Roboform toolbar).  

I then close Firefox and reopen it and all my customization is still there.  

I then right click on a link and say to open in a new window and the new window has none of the customization of the original window.  This also happens if I click on the icon on my desktop to open a second instance of Firefox.

Now I close both windows and click on the icon on my desktop to open Firefox and it no longer has the customization.

This happens only in the Firefox 4 beta.  If I do the same thing in Firefox 3.6.10 it works fine.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Firefox
2. Customize toolbars
3. Open another Firefox window (open link in new window or open another Firefox instance)

Actual Results:  
I lost all customization in the new window

Expected Results:  
New window should have had same customization as original window
