715846 - closing the PDF-Download in the second tab - the PDF appears in the first tab

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[kathrin.beutin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

I clicked on a download-link for an PDF-file in the browser. The PDF appears in a second tab. I closed this second tab. In the first tab I do any action for example pressing the back-button or any other button.


Actual results:

The PDF-Download appears in the first tab.


Expected results:

In the first tab the action I initialized should be done - like going 1 site (step) back. The PDF-Download should not appear again.

Please update to Firefox 9.0.1 and test the behavior there.

If it still occurs with Firefox 9.0.1 please test in Safe Mode and provide the PDF viewer/version you are running.

FYI - please do not set flags - these are for use by developers only.

Hi, I'm kinda new and I don't see why the severity has been marked as critical. Please do change it if you think otherwise.

I updated Firefox to 9.0.1. - it still occurs. 
Also in Safe Mode it occurs.
I use PDF viewer version 1.4 (Acrobat 5.x).

By the way: we have the same behavior on a Mac, where no Acrobat is installed!

Here is an example - it`s a demo version of an online-shop

1. Go to: http://demo.tickeos.de/
2. Login 
   - Benutzername: [e-mail]
   - Passwort: tickeos
   - click "Login"
3. click "Meine Bestellungen" (you find the link on the right hand side in the navigation block)
4. click on an activ download-link ("download")
5. a print-ticket will be downloaded in a seperate tab as a pdf-file 
6. close the tab with the pdf-file (this step is not absolutely necessary)
7. go back to the first tab
8. do a mouse-click for example like clicking on "Produkte" on the top of the page (you can choose any other link and you get the same reaction)
9. instead of opening the linked page the pdf-file opens again in the first tab.

Contact me, if there are no more active-download-links on the page "Meine Bestellungen".

Hi katherin, it's been over a year and I'm sorry your bug report hasn't seen any action. It looks like no one has been able to reproduce this bug. I gave it a try today and did not see the issue. I'm going to go ahead and close the bug report. If it happens again, please let us know! Thanks!
