707708 - Add-on migration

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 704547

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Sam Tobin-Hochstadt [:samth]]

My nightly install reports a user agent (checked on both about:support and http://whatismyuseragent.com) of "... Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3"

My previous XUL nightly had the Phony addon installed, and set to "Desktop Firefox".  However, I have uninstalled that addon, and my impression was that addons didn't work yet anyway.

Which device do you have, which OS, and which build are you using?

Add-ons do work, but the old Phony would not work in the new native Fennec. However, Phony changes a preference to set the UA and that preference could still be in affect.

You could clear your profile data using Android's "Settings > Manage Applications > Nightly > Clear data"

or

You could install the updated Phony from Matt Brubeck to get it to work in the native UI and then change the UA back to the default:

Device: HTC Sensation
OS: Android 2.3.4
Build: 85e665cc4a97 (from about:buildconfig)

However, this has been a consistent issue with all builds of Native Fennec.

Ok, installing the updated version of Phony fixed the issue.  However, this still seems like a bug to me, since it took information from an Addon that couldn't be used to change it back.

Given that some add-ons won't exist in native Fennec, I wouldn't get my hopes up that this will ever be "fixed". Clearing your data would have worked too.

I think the answer here is to reset all preferences to default values, but leave the add-ons alone.

Bug 704547 is the same deal.
