fabric-engine/JSSceneGraph — Issue #19: Firefox: Fabric plugin detection fails after an automatic update but before the browser is restarted
Author: phtaylor
Created: 2011-10-21 14:57:30+00:00
State: open

Repro Steps:
- Install 1.0.11-alpha on Firefox and restart
- In the add-ons page, click on button to update extensions
- When Firefox tells you you need to restart to use the new version, go to any demo at http://demos.fabric-engine.com

Expected:
- The application tells you you need to restart the browser for it to work

Actual:
- A big blank browser window. The "embedTag.wrapFabricClient is not a function" exception on the Javascript console.

Note that I discovered this when the browser automatically updated the Fabric extension for me (rather than through a manual update), so it looked like Fabric was simply broken. This should be taken into consideration when deciding the priority: for all intents and purposes, Fabric automatically broke itself, and I had to dig to figure out what was going on.
