763670 - Firefox acts wired with roaming profiles in offline mode.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect)

Attachment: bugfirefox.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Build ID: 20120420145725

Steps to reproduce:

I have a w2K3 active directory and roaming profile setup with profile set to \\server\users\<username> . I installed firefox to client machines and enables offline mode for win 7 ultimate/professional laptops. 
When the laptops are  removed from local network, the offline copy of the profile gets activated (no problems with active directory setup). At this stage, firefox starts acting wired. 


Actual results:

When the laptops are  removed from local network, the offline copy of the profile gets activated (no problems with active directory setup). At this stage, firefox starts acting wired. The links are displayed in black (view the attached file). Hovering mouse over a link turns the cursor text icon (the icon that look like T) instead of an array pointer.

when the laptops return to local network, the offline copy becomes online. However, firefox still acts wired. One needs to either logout or create a new profile to get Firefox working again.


Expected results:

a month ago all was ok, links were blue and hovering the mouse over a link didn't change the pointer. 
Now whenever the profile is in offline mode, firefox starts these problems.

This bug is filed in a bugzilla component related to pre-Firefox code which no longer exists. I believe it is no longer relevant and I am therefore closing it INCOMPLETE.

If you believe that this bug is still valid and needs to be fixed, please reopen it and move it to the Toolkit:Startup and Profile System product/component.
