62244 - Navigation and Personal toolbars not visible

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: Migration, defect, P3)

Description

[Nick Winterhalter]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; N; PPC; en-US; 0.6) Gecko/20001206
BuildID:    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; N; PPC; en-US; 0.6) Gecko/20001206

The Navigation and Personal toolbars do not appear on my machine. Checking and
unchecking the options in the View:Toolbars menu does nothing. This has been the
case with every build of Mozilla or Netscape 6 I've used.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove all vestiges of older Mozilla or Netscape 6 builds.
2. Full install and launch browser.

Actual Results:  The Navigation and Personal toolbars do not appear.


Expected Results:  Navigation and Personal toolbars
 should always be visible when their options are checked in the View:Toolbars menu.

The "Taskbar" toolbar works fine. Unchecking the Taskbar menu option in
View:Toolbars causes it to disappear, as expected.

Did you try removing your profile and are you sure you uninstall everything 
(mozregistry.dat, mozver.dat, other stuff) before installing new nightlies?
This seems like a bug in your profile, because this hasn't been reported before.
Thank you,
Fabian.

What skin is that?

Comment 4

[Nick Winterhalter]

I've removed everything I can find which is referenced by Mozilla. I was unable to find any 

.dat files which fit this description, however. The entire user profile folder has been trashed 

anlong with "Mozilla Registry" and "Mozilla Versions" from the Preferences folder.

Okay, it seems to be a problem importing Preferences from Netscape 4. When I
created a new profile the toolbars appeared. Should I create a new bug based on
that information or should this one be left open?

That looks like the Orbit theme. Creating new profiles in third-party themes is
known to cause crashes, but I haven't seen anything like this. Seems to be a
theme problem, unless it can be reproduced with the default skins (Modern &
Classic).

Comment 7

[Nick Winterhalter]

It is definitely NOT a theme problem. The problem stems from an issue with 

importing profiles from Netscape 4 preferences. The problem is reproducible every 

time using my current Netscape 4 profile.



Would someone like to look at it to determine if there are additional problems 

with importing? I'm still not sure if I should report this as a different (new) 

bug.

Nick, so this only with a migrated profile?  Have you tried creating another 4.x
profile and migrating it to see if it is specific to that profile or the more
general case of any migration causing the problem?  I don't see this problem
with new or migrated profiles on 121112 Mac builds.

Comment 9

[Nick Winterhalter]

It appear that the problem only occurs with this specific profile. Importing a
fresh Netscape 4 profile does not cause the problem. The affected profile works
fine under Netscape 4, however. It's possible that other people will run into
the same issue if the root cause of the profile's corruption is common...

over to profile migration.

Comment 11

[Fabian Guisset]

I would mark this worksforme because we cannot take into account each and every 
failure of the profile migration process. I have seen a lot of errors pertaining 
to migrated profiles and none of them were the same (except the localstore.rdf 
bug). If you can no longer reproduce then clearly your profile was corrupted at 
some point and I don't think the profile folks will be able to do anything about 
it. Please check your localstore.rdf file (in the 4.x profile) and see if it 
contains any garbage (strange characters). If it does, then it's a dup, if not, 
then i'll let the profile QA deal with it, but probably he can't do anything 
about it. :(
Thanks,
Fabian.

I've had the same problem ever since I tried the first Preview Release of
Netscape 6.  I run W98 though.  Also, while the toolbars don't display in the
browser, they do display in mail.

Reassigning profile migration bugs to the current owner

I had the same problem with Mozilla 1.2 on Windows 98. But deleting the 
appropriate files as mentioned in a post below did the trick. It's definitely a 
problem with old Netscape profiles.

With Mozilla 1.2.1, the personal toolbar also does not show on
my Windows XP SP1 machine (P4, 512MB). "View set" for the personal
toolbar bookmark folder has no effect. The personal toolbar shows
fine on my Windows 2000 SP6 machine with the same Mozilla 1.2.1.
Reinstalling Mozilla 1.2.1 on the Windows XP SP1 machine did not
help, nor did anything else that I tried. The personal toolbar 
*content* shows up fine in the bookmarks manager, but like I said,
View-set to make it appear on the personal toolbar does nothing.

mass re-assign.

Comment 17

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

This bug is filed in a bugzilla component related to pre-Firefox code which no longer exists. I believe it is no longer relevant and I am therefore closing it INCOMPLETE.

If you believe that this bug is still valid and needs to be fixed, please reopen it and move it to the Toolkit:Startup and Profile System product/component.
