606336 - Yahoo toolbar broken on trunk, possibly by a change backported to branches

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[LegNeato]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #606315 +++

I was investigating bug 606315 and see that the Yahoo toolbar doesn't work on trunk. It fails exactly how people describe on 3.6.11 (missing buttons, missing gear menu). I know the toolbar is likely not expected to work with trunk, but I think this warrants a bit of investigation (and who knows, it might help the branch investigation).

Do you see any errors in the Error Console that appear in the betas but not release?

This could just be a bug in the way they handle their icon set, and possibly not worth worrying about.

This is a legacy extension, no longer valid in Firefox 57, closing.
