Extension clears toolbar buttons in menu bar #24

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

After having installed xmldap-0.9.9.200905172122.xpi in Firefox 3.5.3
(Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824
Firefox/3.5.3 - Build ID: 20090824101458) some toolbar buttons had vanished.

Each time a new browser window is opened, its menu bar loses all toolbar
buttons I'd put there using toolbar customization; other toolbars are not
affected. Re-inserting the buttons is futile - they get lost again. After a
browser restart this also applies to the first window.

I have to disable the extension until this bug is fixed.

I don't see this effect. Please post pictures.

OK, attached are a picture of the upper part of a Firefox window and also a 
list the
installed extensions (HTML).

The browser's _menu_ bar is populated with more than a dozen buttons. I drew a 
green
frame around one of them, and an amber frame around the other ones. With 
openinfocard
installed the buttons in the _amber_ frame vanish, whereas the button in the 
(small)
green frame is not affected. The buttons in the amber frame were all installed 
with
the browser's View|Toolbars|Customize dialog. The button in the green frame is a
_graphical_ *menu entry* for the Scrapbook extension; it gets installed via the
Scrapbook options dialog and is obviously re-inserted into the menu bar by the
extension itself. The other buttons rely on some standard browser function to 
get
copied over to a new window - IMHO, openinfocard interferes with this process.
Obviously, the _menu_ bar is somewhat special when used as a toolbar (the other
toolbars are not affected).

Of course, some other extension could be involved; but I don't have the 
patience to
experiment with 70 extensions;->

Hi Axel,

Thanks for your personal e-mail. I post the outcome of the tests you propose 
also
here, so other people can see it:

I created a new profile for FF and installed xmldap-0.9.9.200905172122.xpi. I
inserted a few toolbar buttons into the _menu_ bar - they _remained_ there; new
windows showed the same set, also after a restart. No more "Issue 24";-)

Then I saw there already was a new version xmldap-0.9.9.200909151532.xpi. Works 
OK, too.

So, one of the zillion extensions "sets the stage" for this kind of error - 
I've no
idea which one. I only tried Scrapbook whose button had always remained on the 
menu
bar - it created _no_ problem.

Regards
Heribert
