Comment 1

Was an update applied during the restart?

Comment 2

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

Yes, I ended up on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Firefox/15.0a1 ID:20120523112744 the second time I tested.

The first time I ran a scenario the browser did not restart.

Comment 3

[Marcia Knous [:marcia]]

I confirmed that this happens on my other 10.8 machine as well with the STR in Comment 0. The browser restarts and then I get this in terminal:

host-4-130:testsigning marcia$ ls
FirefoxNightly.app
host-4-130:testsigning marcia$ codesign -vv FirefoxNightly.app
FirefoxNightly.app: a sealed resource is missing or invalid
In architecture: i386

OK, this is an easy fix. We just need to exclude removed-files from the signature.

Going to track this in the bug that's already tracking the build system code.
