9501 - refetch related links only on top-level domain change

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: RDF, defect, P2)

Description

[Paul MacQuiddy]

Overview Description: I am not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior. Feel
free to invalid this bug, I have no pride.

If you open double click on Related Links, you are given a (slightly poorly
formatted) list of Related Links. If you then go to another page, either by
double-clicking on a Related Link, or typing in a URL, or whatever, the Related
Links tree will close and re-open with new links. I thought we had decided not
to do this, because of all the hits?

Currently you must manually close Related Links or the Sidebar to stop it from
firing after you have first opened it.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Open Sidebar and double-click on Related Links in What's Related Pane
2) a bunch of related links show up as intended
3) load another URL in the main browser window

Actual Results: Related links closes and then opens with new Related Links

Expected Results: Not sure...

Right now, it does re-fetch related links for _every_ URL change. I think that
John Gable wanted this to re-fetch for every top-level domain change (well,
John really wanted _all_ kinds of magic, but, he's a marketing guy ;-).

Should we change the bug to "refetch related links only on top-level domain
change"?

verified with 12/1 builds, I'm a bit slow

refetches only when domain changes, e.g. bonsai.mozilla.org then link to
tinderbox.mozilla.org will refetch, www.mozilla.org/bonsai.html to
www.mozilla.org/tinderbox.html will *not* refetch.
