997020 - Removed RSS Feed Handlers keep reappearing

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Benjamin Schieder]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20140319 Firefox/24.0 Iceweasel/24.4.0 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20140319045509

Steps to reproduce:

I have a bunch of RSS Feed Handlers installed: Yahoo and a long list of handlers for my personal RSS Reader.
I removed all of them and re-added a single handler from my reader.
Might be important: I am using FF Sync with a custom minimal-weave installation.


Actual results:

After a few re-starts of Firefox all the old handlers are back again in addition to the newly added ones.


Expected results:

The removed handlers should have stayed removed, the new handler should have stayed by itself.

Issue not resolved as of:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0 Iceweasel/43.0.4

I have attached my FF Sync settings as a screenshot.

Reproduced by:
- Opening preferences
- Selecting "Web Feed" in "Applications"
- Using "Application Details" to remove all handlers
- Exiting FF with Ctrl-Q
- Starting FF
- Checking "Web Feed" in "Preferences" -> "Applications" has all deleted handlers in it again
