927257 - Australis: Some addons' removed toolbar buttons reappear after opening a new window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 940099

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

STR:
1. Using Australis, install Mozilla's "Collusion" addon [1] and Gareth Hunt's "Modify Headers" addon [2]
2. These addons add some annoying toolbar buttons to the Australis navbar.
3. Customize the navbar.
4. Remove these addons' buttons.
5. Close the customization tab.
6. Open a new window (using CMD+N or "File > New Window" menu)

RESULT:
The Collusion and Modify Header toolbar buttons are back!

I have other addons installed, but only these two seem to restore their toolbar buttons.

Modify Headers does this itself:

https://mxr.mozilla.org/addons/source/967/chrome/content/toolsOverlay.xul#50

It'd need to be updated to stop it being so annoying.

Collusion is an SDK add-on, we'll likely need to look at the SDK and/or if people are just misusing an SDK library. See bug 940099.
