Check for Addons Updates bug

[seamoonz]

Starting from FF 41 sometimes button checking updates forever (circle icon rolls and never stops) I'm using version 0.1.5 - 2014-10-13. I reverted it to version 40 and never experienced such problem. So it can't be related a conflict with other add-ons. Please restart FF before take another test.

Strange, I can't reproduce. What happens for you on about:addons page + "Check for Updates" from menu? Should appears "Updating add-ons" and then "View Available Updates" or "No updates found" (button depends on that messages).

To reproduce open about:addons as a tab, select another tab, restart FF (don't switch about:addons tab), press update you should see forever loop. The only way to abort the loop is close about:addons tab.

Okay I have found the exact reason: To reproduce open about:addons as a tab, unpin it, select another tab, restart FF (don't switch about:addons tab), press update you should see forever loop.

Now I see, thanks. Weird things happens for not yet loaded tab... I've changed code to physically select pending tab (and then select original one) to correctly restore it, but this may looks strange, if there is many tabs.

There is latest version: https://github.com/Infocatcher/Custom_Buttons/blob/master/Check_for_Addons_Updates/checkForAddonsUpdates.js => Raw
