Public bug reported: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0 Firefox package version: 16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
Hi, I'm using Firefox 16.0.2 on an up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, and my settings are to clear history/cache when Firefox closes. In these conditions, about:newtab is supposed to display thumbnails of the most visited websites of the current session (according to fixed bugs 744388 and 736724 in Mozilla Bugzilla). The behavior I observe is that about:newtab only displays the thumbnail of the first visited website of the current session, in top-left position. The eight other thumbnails remain blank (no text, no image). Yet thumbnails are correctly generated and saved in the "thumbnails" directory in my profile directory. In the attached picture, I've opened www.omgubuntu.co.uk, www.nytimes.com, boards.4chan.org/b, www.perdu.com, about:newtab in five different tabs, in that order, in a new session, with all addons/plugins/language packs deactivated. I've waited for each webpage to load completely before opening the next one. None of these websites uses HTTPS or Cache-Control: no-store/no-cache. Only the first visited website gets a thumbnail in about:newtab, despite thumbnails for all websites appearing in the "thumbnails" directory. The same behavior occurs when starting Firefox in Safe Mode. Can anybody reproduce this behavior? What additional info could I provide for it to be triaged and fixed? Should I report it upstream? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744388 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736724 ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of the reported behavior" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081123/+attachment/3439477/+files/bug%20report.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081123 Title: New Tab only displays the thumbnail of the first visited website of the current session despite all thumbnails being correctly generated Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/16.0 Firefox package version: 16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Hi, I'm using Firefox 16.0.2 on an up-to-date Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, and my settings are to clear history/cache when Firefox closes.
