[Master] Eight (8) instances of back/forward buttons

Right click near your address bar, click customize, click reset defaults. Should fix the multiple back/forward buttons. I did not notice this problem on windows where I had identically configured buttons.

Thanks, it sure did. But if this keeps on happening to people, I'd say it's an
error needing a fix. I'm fine with it, though. Thanks again. :)

Can you please run firefox-3.0 in terminal in safe mode
firefox-3.0 -safe-mode and let me know if it still happens
Also do you have compiz running?

Sorry, I already did as was suggested earlier in the comments thread, and the
extra buttons are gone. Hopefully someone else can.

Nope, I hate that thing. :)

Same thing happened to me but with 2 sets of back/forward buttons. resetting worked, but I agree that this is a bug--why should it automatically set my preferences to have two sets of buttons when I only need one? I can't imagine an actual use for this or expecting most users to figure out what's wrong and how to fix it.

you can manually fix this in your profiles localstore.rdf. this happens under some (not yet figured) circumstances when firefox is running while upgrading

at least medium priority as this appears to show that bad things can happen when firefox is running while running.

we should investigate this for hardy updates.

I can confirm this bug in the Hardy release too.
I upgraded to Hardy and firefox 3 had more than 8 back forward buttons.
The "reset to defaults" worked.
Firefox 2 is still working correctly.

That's funny, cause I seem to recall other similar bugs being marked as dupes of
this, and as it says in the topic, ( [Master] ) are being marked as such. /me

What more info is required, then? People have reported just the same incidents
all around (okay not _just_, ie. not eight, but other numbers). What procedures
are needed for further debugging?

> tag likely-dup

Of what?

Yeah, sorry for that. I should read the email footer more carefully

upgrade behaviour should improve after RC1 is out as we include at least one more patch that should guard xulrunner from corrupting its XUL cache. However, though that bug might cause this bug in most cases, I think that not all cases will be covered.

In anyway, after RC1 is out we should track duplicates of this bug and in case this issue reappears, take appropriate measures.

Unmilestoning as we cannot reproduce and next upload will hopefully fix all cases.

targetting for hardy release anyway.

anyone ever saw this again after 3.0.0 came out?

I have done an upgrade from on a Vmware 5.5.0 Workstation with Hardy Heron to Intrepid Beta and did not see this bug.

danielbohry, we can only process english bug reports. please dont replace english text in description with some translated content. Thanks.

Could this be theme related? Since Janne does not use the default theme. This should not matter, but could be an issue.

unlikely. from the previous investigations its kind of a
localstore.rdf corruption. Initial cause is most likely a crash or
something.

Is this still reproducible by anyone?
