705554 - nsIAppStartup eForceQuit will fail if there is at least one window with registered unload handlers

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[passfree]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/535.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/17.0.942.0 Safari/535.8

Steps to reproduce:

If we try to to close an application via the nsIAppStartup, the attempt will fail if there is at least one open window and has registered unload handlers. In other words, the following will fail:

addEventListener('unload', function () {}, false);

function clickMe() {
  appStartup.quit();
}



Expected results:

The application should exit normally.

What are the precise symptoms of failure? In this example you aren't passing any argument to appStartup.quit, although in the bug summary you mention eForceQuit. Did you mean to be passing eForceQuit?
