FF14 breaks customizing the bookmark toolbar #38

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install CCK package into distributions\bundles\ of FF13
2. Upgrade to FF14 & reinstall the CCK package
3. curse!

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Instead of my pre-configured experience I get with FF13, FF14 comes up with the 
"Welcome to Firefox" with my homepage in the second tab and none of the 
bookmark toolbar links I added. I always delete my %APPDATA%\Mozilla folder 
before starting Firefox to simulate the new user experience. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
FF 14.0.1, Windows 7 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
When I put the CCK package into FFDIR\extensions an manually enabled the 
extension I got my bookmark toolbar populated. FF13 or 14 seems to be ignoring 
the "extensions.autoDisableScopes" pref too, so it no longer auto-enables my 
CCK package when places in FFDIR\extensions\

I'm a little bit confused by your steps.

Why are you reinstalling the CCK?

Upgrading from FF13 to FF14 should just keep the same CCK?

the FF installer wipes out the contents of the distribution\ folder, so I have 
to copy my CCK package again.

Would you be willing to send me your CCK to test with?

So I've discovered that putting pref files into defaults/prefs is broken on 
Firefox 14. That's why autoDisableScopes isn't working. I'm currently 
researching this.

I was also able to track down the bookmarks problem, although I'm not sure how 
I'm going to fix it yet.

It is a regression introduced by places.

I believe I have this fixed. I've made a new CCK Wizard available on the 
download page.

Can you please test?

Thanks

Much better, I'm still getting a couple of minor glitches on a fresh profile:
The "Welcome to Firefox" tab still comes up, and the "Most Visited" and 
"Getting Started" links aren't deleted even though I checked the check boxes to 
delete them.

If I delete the default FFDIR\distribution\distribution.ini the "Welcome to 
Firefox" tab goes away.

I can live with this extra bookmarks in the toolbar now that my custom 
additions are showing up again, so this is working for me.

I'll check on the Most Visisted/Getting Started. I was sure it was working for 
me.

What version of Firefox?

What are you checking to make the "Welcome To Firefox" tab go away?

the "don't show upgrade page"?

Thanks

I just double checked the "Welcome to Firefox" and "Don't show Upgrade page" 
and they are indeed checked. It seems the default distribution\distribution.ini 
overrides it.

FF 14.0.1

What values do you have in your distribution.ini?

Here's the distribution.ini I get with an install/upgrade of FF14.0.1

So, I've done some investigation into this and discovered a few things.

1. Apparently Mozilla was doing some testing of CDN 
(http://blog.mozilla.org/it/2012/08/03/dear-mozilla-mirrors-thank-you/) and 
they used that change to distribution.ini for their testing. Unfortunately that 
change to distribution.ini breaks the CCK.

distribution.ini always wins over the CCK (it has always been that way). 
Usually that isn't a problem because a normal user doesn't have a 
distribution.ini.

My suggestion is that you delete that distribution.ini.

2. I'm investigating making the "don't show welcome" and "don't show override" 
work no matter what is in the distribution.ini.

3. I've fixed the problem where the default bookmarks aren't getting deleted in 
your case.

I hope to have something later today.
