Description fernando_martines 2007-10-17 17:14:50 UTC
Hi David,

As you asked me earlier, I am raising a change request to attack this possible defect related to several plugins in
Firefox tabs.

Initial Conditions:
- Browse "http://plugins.netbeans.org/PluginPortal/" using Firefox (my current version is 2.0.0.7)

Steps to reproduce:
1.) Go to "Recently Added" section at index page
2.) Click over some plugin links (at least 3) so that Firefox can open each link in a different tab.
3.) Go to the first tab where you can find the first plugin selected.
4.) In the plugin details page, click "Download".

Expected Result:
- Download link should be related to the current plugin. When I click Download button, the .nbm file should be related
to current plugin.

Actual Result:
- Download button is pointing to the last plugin selected, that is, the .nbm file will always be related to last plugin
selected.

I have captured a screenshot illustrating this behavior. It will be attached here.

Thank you.
Best Regards.

Fernando

FYI, a fix is on the way.  Please see http://blogs.sun.com/david/entry/netbeans_visual_web_jsf_pretty.
Comment 3 David Botterill 2007-12-12 16:50:39 UTC
Workaround:

The plugin detail page you open last will be the one that works correctly.  For example, if you open plugin 1 then open
plugin 2 in a different tab, the download button and other links on plugin 1 will not work correctly.  The download
button on plugin 2 will work correctly.
Comment 4 David Botterill 2008-04-12 19:46:27 UTC
Fixed.
