[Bug 899975] [NEW] Global Menu Bar Integration conflicts with some Firefox add-ons
Public bug reported:
SUMMARY
The Firefox add-on Tab Mix Plus has a session manager that allows you to
manually store and retrieve previous sessions, including automatically-
saved sessions when Firefox closes normally or crashes.
When Canonical's Firefox Global Menu Bar Integration add-on is enabled,
this prevents restoring a previous session. No error message is given.
The Global Menu Bar Integration add-on should not affect other add-ons
like this.
HOW TO DUPLICATE
1. Install Tab Mix Plus, enabling its session manager.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/
2. Open two or more tabs.
3. Close Firefox.
4. Re-open Firefox.
5. Try to restore the previous session: Tools > Session Manager > Last
Session. Although the session is listed, nothing happens.
Now, disable the Global Menu Bar Integration add-on and repeat the
steps. This time, the last session will be restored.
VERSIONS AFFECTED
I have tested this on:
* Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit
* Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit (fresh installation with no add-ons other than the defaults and Tab Mix Plus)
I have been unable to test on Ubuntu 12.04 (alpha) as I cannot get it to
run.
