Build ID: 20120208012847

Steps to reproduce:

Trying to help a Mozillazine user with an issue of the persdict.dat file not updating. Finally reproduced the problem but only for FF10.


Actual results:

Based on these posts in a mozillazine thread

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2426993&p=11742383#p11742383

I did four experiments:

#1 - Using FF10.0.1 and my regular profile no problem adding misspelled word to persdict.dat when quitting FF

#2 - Using FF10.0.1 and an empty test profile, persdict.dat file is NOT CREATED when quitting FF after adding misspelled words

#3 - Using FF11b2 and my regular profile no problem

#4 - Using FF11b2 and an empty test profile, persdict.dat file is created when quitting FF after adding misspelled words


Expected results:

In all cases the persdict.dat file should have either been updated or created when quitting FF after adding misspelled words using the context menu. 

I noticed a bug 618805 which is the same but that is from 2010. One other point to note; this is being reported on both Win and OSX.

Last comment. I've now played with this for 30 minutes using FF10, FF10.0.1 and FF11b3 I have never seen the issue in FF11b3 and only seen it in FF10 and FF10.0.1 in an empty profile.

I don't see the need for two identical bugs on the same (non-)issue.
