947349 - After Firefox hang, sometimes the download-manager and Firefox main window switch locations at windows taskbar

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[t8av]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131112160018

Steps to reproduce:

I had an active download so I opened the download manager window to follow it (clicked menu Tools->Downloads).

Since the download manager window was opened after the main window, it appeared after it in the windows taskbar. (I am using a vertical windows taskbar so it appeared below it. Normally it should appear right to it, when using an horizontal taskbar).
 



Actual results:

After a while, a short hang occurred, and immediately after that the two windows switched location in the windows taskbar - the  download manager window appeared before the main Firefox window, as if it was opened before it.


Expected results:

The two windows should stay in their original position.

This bug seems as a minor issue, but I think that it hides much bigger bugs, such as download manager failure to download after this switch occurs.

do you still see this with newer version?

No longer valid.

* Bug 747422 — the downloads window was replaced with the downloads panel in Firefox 20.
* Bug 928349 — the browser.download.useToolkitUI preference to re-enable the window was removed in Firefox 26.
