676814 - Device list in warning screen on Reset Sync -> Overwrite other devices always empty

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 618509

(Firefox :: Sync, defect)

Description

[ael]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0a2) Gecko/20110804 Firefox/7.0a2
Build ID: 20110804042002

Steps to reproduce:

On Reset sync with Sync option "Overwrite data on the server with data from this machine", a warning confirmation screen is shown with a list of devices whose data will be overwritten. I have had to do this a couple of times now and the device list is always (incorrectly) empty.

What devices do you have?

I suspect Bug 618509.

Could be related, but in my instance the devices (in this case, different profiles on the same machine) had different names.

Over to QA, see if we can repro.

I am fairly certain this is a dupe of bug 618509. But there is more going on there than meets the eye.  Duping this bug and will explain in that bug...
