749041 - Selecting to install an application to get the door hanger to appear, canceling, then causing a different doorhanger flashes the old doorhanger during new doorhanger load

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: General, defect)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Example Steps:

1. Go to apps.mozillalabs.com/appdir
2. Select to install an application
3. Click out of the area where the door hanger is
4. Go to maps.google.com
5. Share your location

Expected:

The share your location doorhanger should appear only.

Actual:

The web app doorhanger quickly flashes and disappears, then the share your location doorhanger appears.

Additional Notes:

This likely has to do with the fact that the doorhanger is persistent after clicking outside of the doorhanger area. You can never cancel the dialog at all, even if you hit the X button within the doorhanger or select not now. We need to allow the user to be able to cancel the doorhanger in general, especially to avoid the issue noted in this bug.

I doubt this is related to web apps, it's likely to be a general doorhanger issue. But I cannot reproduce it on my computer. I'll ask Jason to demonstrate me this bug on his machine tomorrow.

This appears to be a problem with firefox generally with doorhangers, not webapps specific.
