This bug just occurred in Jaunty alpha 5 when FF updated to 3.0.7.

Removing that plugin works because that plugin is what causes all notifications of this sort. You would thus not be told when a Firefox restart actually was required. I think there are also some search-box things that come from it (like the Ubuntu packages one) and theming. -- firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 270303] Re: firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted"
Here we are again. I think when I had this happen with 3.0.6 I took the reinstall path. It worked, but I don't remember if I lost anything from that approach. Should I expect to lose anything using that approach? I looked at my localstore.rdf file, and it doesn't have the referenced lines, so I don't think removing that file will help. What about the "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" plugin? Some people have said that removing that fixes this problem. Is that true?

I've seen this too, it happened two times that I can remember: 1) I saw both the light bulb notification in the notification area after installing updates which told me to restart my computer due to a kernel update, and the notification inside firefox telling me to restart firefox due to a firefox. I chose the "restart computer" option and when I finished restarting firefox still told me it needed to restart. This one seemed to go away on it's own, I can't remember if firefox told me more than once. 2) One time I installed firefox updates with my user account, and when another user logged in later firefox told that person it needed to restart over and over even though firefox wasn't even running in their account when I installed the updates. This person, by the way, also sees the "Know Your Rights" bar every time firefox starts, as well. So it goes "Know Your Rights" -> Close -> "Restart firefox" -> Close -> "Restart firefox" -> Close... etc. I agree with what Patrick said with regards to this: "(3) The popup has a close button even though it will reopen after you close it (and remain open in other tabs) This is likely to lead to user frustration."

[Bug 270303] Re: firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted"
I, too, have been experiencing this bug since upgrading to Intrepid last weekend. It seems the "restart" flag is stored in the firefox home directory. (Due to issues I had with an older version of firefox 3 (haven't had time to test this in intrepid), it kept hitting the hard disk after each page so I keep a copy in /dev/shm/ once at each boot). I understand that deleting my entire home directory and starting from scratch would likely work, but I don't like to go through the hassle of migrating bookmarks, cookies, saved passwords, etc. In my opinion the bug here is that the "restart" flag should not be getting saved in my firefox home directory, rather it should depend on whether you upgraded while firefox was open. I don't want to sound like I am trolling by suggesting this, but I personally think this banner will lead to a few really slightly irritated users for a few additional reasons: (1) Restarting firefox does *not* save your session. it does not pop up with "restore your session" and selecting Last Session from the session manager menu chooses an older session. A temporary workaround for the intrepid release would be to have the Restart button run "killall -9 firefox" as that does save my session and therefore is much preferable. (2) The popup appears after a seemingly random number of seconds. This causes everything on the page to shift around. My understanding is that the intent is to be annoying but making the browser unusable by waiting almost exactly the amount of time it takes me to click on a search result is pretty annoying IMO. I don't know what would cause this to happen but my suggestion is to fix this below the bottom-most toolbar so it doesn't keep opening, closing, and moving around (3) The popup has a close button even though it will reopen after you close it (and remain open in other tabs) This is likely to lead to user frustration. As you can see I am personally not very happy about this change. I can understand you had reasons for adding this annoying nag banner (I remember personally experiencing blank windows in FF 2.0 due to an upgrade), but it was at least usable until I finish reading whatever tabs I have open). But if you fix any one of these issues, or the root cause of being stored on a per-user basis (as Roger says), I would consider this problem solved. -- firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 270303] Re: firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted"
Me too. Savvas' workaround worked for me. Mackenzie it is not about tabs. Firefox says it wants a restart. You click on restart. Firefox exits and restarts itself. Then a few seconds later says it needs a restart. So you click restart and it does. Then it comes up saying it needs a restart. Rinse and repeat. It also displays the restart message in every single tab including new ones you open which gets very annoying very quickly. -- firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As further exposition I should add that it only affected my existing user account that I had upgraded from Hardy. If I started a guest session then there was no problem. In order to try and fix it I had uninstalled flash and nspluginwrapper (on AMD64 here) which had no effect. -- firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 270303] Re: firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted"
In your tabs? Do you mean you closed the message without restarting Firefox? Of course it'll keep bugging you if you do that. Firefox generally stops working properly after an update (2 or 3 bugs filed for this in LP currently), so it's kind of important to actually restart it. -- firefox (intrepid): "your browser has been updated and needs to be restarted" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270303 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I just had this problem with the current update in Intrepid. I hit the 'x' button and it still appeared on all my other tabs. Then I went back to the original tab I closed it in and it reappeared! $ lsb_release -a && apt-cache policy firefox No LSB modules are available.
