915132 - The Panorama button is not displayed after a Firefox reset, although all the tab groups are kept

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Migration, defect)

Description

[Ioana (away)]

Reproducible on Firefox 25 and 26, on multiple OSs.
Introduced with the "Migrate windows and tabs when resetting Firefox" feature (bug 833943).

STR:
1. Launch Firefox and open several websites in new tabs.
2. Organize the tabs in at least two different tab groups (I had a group of 2 tabs, one of 17 tabs and one of 10 tabs).
2. Go to about:support and click the "Reset Firefox" button.
3. Restore windows and tabs after the reset.

All the tabs are restored in the right groups, but there is no feedback that panorama is working. Practically, after restoring the tabs, the user sees the open group of tabs, but no Panorama button or anything else that would tell him his other groups were restored.

You can discover the groups by using the Panorama shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E, but even after going through all the groups, the Panorama button is still not displayed.

Panorama was removed in bug 1222490 so this bug is effectively wontfix.
