832917 - Visiting an UTF-16 page adds an UTF-16 item to the Character Encoding menu that persists even upon navigating to a non-UTF-16 page

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Steps to reproduce:
 1) Enable the Character Encoding menu in settings.
 2) Navigate to http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/moz/never-show-user-supplied-content-as-utf-16.htm
 3) Open the Character Encoding menu.
 4) Close the Character Encoding menu.
 5) Navigate to http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/moz/
 6) Open the Character Encoding menu.

Actual results:
At step #6, an option labeled "UTF-16" appears in the menu.

Expected results:
Expected "UTF-16", "UTF-16LE" and "UTF-16BE" to be blacklisted so that they never appear in the menu. (You can visit http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test/moz/charset-menu/child-6-meta-parent-bomless-utf-16-child-with-http.htm16be instead of the first page in the steps to reproduce to see "UTF-16BE" stick around in the menu.)

Additional info:
Bug 832910 is about disabling the menu on UTF-16 pages (among others), so you can’t perform step #3. Still, it would be best to blacklist "UTF-16", "UTF-16LE" and "UTF-16BE" just in case. (They are already blacklisted on desktop.)

This was fixed as a side effect of fixing bug 943262.
