Paolo, possibly Bug 1482645?

Who should take this now that Paolo has left?

Who should take this now that Paolo has left?

Looks like Mark reviewed the patch, and this is sync-related, so let's move there and ask the Sync team to take a look.

Component: Toolbars and Customization → Sync
Flags: needinfo?(jaws) → needinfo?(markh)

It's actually worse than as described:

  • Open Firefox, open "sync tabs", note the "setup sync" state.
  • Open another top-level window, open "sync tabs" - it is blank.

Patch forthcoming.

Summary: Synced Tabs panel is blank after using Forget about some browsing history → Synced Tabs panel is blank in subsequent windows

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]:
Given comment #5, I think this is more serious than we initially thought, and wants uplifting. The patch as it is right now looks small enough.

The patch is small and seems well understood but since this is landed on Nightly and we have clear STRs from QA in comment #0, I would like our QA team to verify the fix on Nightly before and after uplifting to beta.

Also, given that we regressed that since 63, would it be possible to have an automatic test to prevent regressing it again in the future? Thanks

Hi, I managed to reproduce this issue in older versions of Firefox like Beta and Release but this issue no longer occurs in the Latest Nightly build 68.0a1 (2019-03-27), I verified this issue on Windows 10, Ubuntu and Mac OsX.
