940118 - Bookmarks button does not work reliably in Nightly the first ten times it is pressed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 941051

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[dusty-2011]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:28.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/28.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131118094134

Steps to reproduce:

I upgraded to the latest Nightly version (28.0a1) (2013-11-18). Then I clicked on the button which is supposed to open my bookmarks in a drop down list.


Actual results:

The button to open my Bookmarks did not work reliably in the current Nightly (the first version with Australis enabled), the first ten times I used it. The first time I clicked it it opened my bookmarks library in a new window. Most of the times when I clicked this button it opened up my bookmarks library. Other times it opened up my bookmarks sidebar. And only 2-3 times out of the 10 times I clicked the button it indeed opened up the bookmarks drop down list that it is supposed to open.

Now that I have clicked the button ten times it does work reliably. It opens up the bookmarks drop down list everytime. But this is not good enough for me. The button should work reliably the first ten times it is pressed as well.


Expected results:

After upgrading to the latest Nightly, the bookmarks button should immediately work reliably and open the bookmarks in a drop down list. It should never open the bookmarks in a new library window and also never in a sidebar.

Forward-duping by exception because the other bug has info we shouldn't lose.
