Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 597646

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #597646 +++

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b11pre) Gecko/20110126 Firefox/4.0b11pre

When multiple extensions are dragged into the Get Add-ons pane of the add-ons manager, only the first one will be listed in the software install dialog to be installed. The other ones are getting dismissed.

Steps:
1. Download at least 2 extensions (or themes)
2. Drag both extensions from the file manager
3. Drop them onto the Get Add-ons pane of the add-ons manager.

After step 3 the software installation dialog will popup but only lists the first extension.

Works for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b11pre) Gecko/20110126 Firefox/4.0b11pre

Please try in a clean profile. Not sure if another extension is blocking additional installation items.

As given two weeks back, testing hasn't shown any issues with the installation of multiple extensions. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce it in a fresh profile.

This happens if you drop the files on the discovery pane, the multi-install works if you drop them on a search result page > Reopening.

Missed that. So it shouldn't be different to what bug 597646 is already about. The Discovery Pane is a usual iframe and should not behave differently as a browser window. Dave, dupe of bug 597646?
