807059 - [Browser] "Clear Private Data" doesn't clear cookies, even though it says it will

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Browser, defect, P3)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

STR:
 1. Visit https://m.gmail.com and log in. (or, your site of choice)
 2. In Browser Config, press "Clear Private Data"
      --> Prompt appears, saying "Clear private data including cookies?"
    Select OK.

 3. Return to your gmail tab, and reload the page. Or try opening a new gmail tab. Or try force-quitting browser and starting a new Browser session and visiting gmail.

ACTUAL RESULTS: I'm still logged in to gmail. It looks like the Clear Private Data action did nothing.

Jason, do you have the time to investigate?

Comment 2

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

A slightly easier way to reproduce is to tick the "Remember Me" box at http://pastebin.mozilla.org , and type some junk into the textarea and into the "your name" box.

You can then see if the cookie remains by re-visiting pastebin and seeing if "your name" is pre-populated.

Blocking + ; looks like it's broken.

Comment 4

[Andrew Overholt [:overholt]]

I can't reproduce this with a 2012-11-26 build updated via the stable channel.  Daniel, can you still reproduce?

Comment 5

[Jason Duell]

I might be able to take this (or find someone who can) if we establish things are actually broken (and it's the cookie code and not something higher up).

Comment 6

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

I can't reproduce with gmail anymore, but I can still reproduce w/ pastebin (comment 2).

Pastebin is being odd for me in other ways, though, so my config might just be horked a bit.  Could someone else confirm that comment 2 still repros this for them?

Comment 7

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

(OK, I fixed my pastebin-oddness by clearing browser history.)

Now, if I perform the STR in comment 2, I get EXPECTED RESULTS.  So this is WFM at both gmail and pastebin.  Woohoo!
