Title:
New Tab only displays the thumbnail of the first visited website of
the current session despite all thumbnails being correctly generated
Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
Invalid
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
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. 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?
