680347 - Uninstall event never fired for Jetpacks

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 571049

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Wes Kocher (:KWierso) (Not reading bugmail; email directly if needed)]

Someone on IRC was saying that the uninstall event was never firing.

I don't really have time at the moment to verify the problem, but am filing this now so I don't forget about it. If anyone else seeing this can confirm this for me before I get a chance, have at it! :)



[23:17]	<ur5us>	Is it only me or is the uninstall event never fired for a Jetpack add-on? Using SDK 1.0 + Firefox 6 on Ubuntu 11.04

[00:25]	<KWierso>	ur5us: I know it doesn't get fired if the addon is already disabled
	but it should be firing if it was running

[00:26]	<ur5us>	nope, it doesn't for me but I know it's mentioned that way in the jetpack sdk docu
	even if enabled it doesn't fire uninstall

[00:27]	<KWierso>	weird
[00:29]	do you have a sample extension hosted anywhere?
	ur5us: ^

[00:30]	<ur5us>	unfortunately not, just tinkering on my local machine

If the add-on is unisntalled through the add-ons manager then the add-on gets disabled before being uninstalled so this is just bug 571049 I think. Please reopen if we can confirm there is something else going on
