Subject: mozilla-firefox: Bookmarks not working,
 stays running in background after closing main window

Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.5.dfsg-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After a apt-get upgrade, firefox is completely unusable.
We expect the maintainer to atleast test his build before upload!

If one closes the main window via clicking the 'x' button on the window or
by Ctrl-W, the windows disappears but firefox binary keeps running in the
background. After killing the binary (with killall -9 firefox-bin), firefox
can be starts but displays the clear private data message box. If you select
"clear data" button, the browser starts.

Bookmarks on the toolbar, as well as in the menu are useless; after clicking on
any one of them the browsers does not load the webpage.

Hi,

Confirming that firefox works as expected if installed extensions are
removed. I haven't pin-pointed which one yet.

Removing extensions solves both the problems, mentioned in original bug report.

Please mark the bug as closed.

Hi,

Reinstalling/Updating extensions solves the bookmark problem. I think
the culprit was BookmarkTags extension.

However if you have "Clear private data when firefox closes" checked
in Preferences -> Privacy -> Settings, firefox closes the main window
but does not show the dialog box for clearing the data. Killing
firefox with a Ctrl-C or killall is possible. After starting firefox
again, you will be presented with the dialog box, clearing the data
then launches the main window.

Hope this inconsistent behaviour will be fixed.
