722227 - Doesn't save collection add-ons between sessions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 705644

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Collector Extension, defect, P2)

Description

[Rui]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
Build ID: 20111220165912

Steps to reproduce:

After a fresh installation of Firefox and the add-on collector, I logged in to get my subscription list (I just use a personal collection).


Actual results:

The collection updates fine but, after closing Firefox and starting a new session, the collection is emptied and I need to refresh to get all the items again and all the add-ons in the list are marked as new in every session.

There are a few items that are saved between sessions: those that we add to the collection using the Extras (Ctrl+Shift+A) interface in the current Firefox installation.

Also, because the add-ons are marked as new, we're always notified through the Firefox tray pop-up that there are new extras in the collection.


Expected results:

The list of extras should have been kept between sessions, instead of an empty list, and there should only be notifications for newly added items (maybe for updated ones as well).

Also worth mentioning this is not an isolated case, as there are a few more people reporting the exact same bug in the add-on reviews.

It does indeed, so I will mark it as so.

Reporter, please retest with version 2.1 which is coming out this week.
