Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android 2. Install a few themes 3. Go to about:addons Expected results: - The latest installed theme is the enabled one, while any other installed themes are disabled. Actual results: - Installed themes are listed greyed out in the Add-on Manager

This happens because in mobile/android/chrome/content/aboutAddons.js, it detects themes as an add-on. Any theme that is not currently in use is set as a "disabled" add-on, and is displayed as such. Might it be worthwhile adding an extra class to each .addon-item.list-item that is a theme to identify it as such, so that it could be styled the same regardless of it is disabled or not? [This is my first bug]

I think that we still want disabled themes to be displayed as disabled, but we should figure out why the currently enabled one is also being displayed as disabled. If you haven't already discovered them, the remote developer tools are really great, and are good at debugging JS/CSS issues like this. For more details, you can see the docs here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Remote_Debugging/Debugging_Firefox_for_Android_with_WebIDE We should just figure out why that most recently installed/enabled theme isn't being displayed as enabled.

Hi, I would like to take a look at this bug if I may (I'm new to open source projects, so I'm looking fore some work to do).
Attached patch bug1136708_themeEnabledCorrection.diff (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
I think I've worked out a solution. Basically, when a new extension is installed, the JavaScript will force enable the newly added extension, but only if the condition (aAddon.type == "theme") is met.

Hi Pavel, Léon is already working on this bug, so unfortunately you'll need to find another one. But fear not! There is a list of good bugs to choose from here: http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/?mobileandroid=1&unowned=1&simple=1

Have you looked into why this add-on isn't actually enabled by default? It seems odd that regular add-ons would be enabled by default, but for some reason themes aren't. I think we need to do some more investigation to dig into the root of this problem. Looking into the code briefly, this seems pretty suspicious: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/mobile/android/chrome/content/aboutAddons.js#228 Is it possible that the isActive property is false for this newly installed theme? If so, why? If we do want to do this one-off kind of fix, calling .setEnabled() probably isn't the correct approach, since that method is designed to be called when the user hits a button, so it sets other values. What we might need to do here is just set the isDisabled attribute directly on the new element. But before doing that, I want us to really understand what's going on here. I think you should use the JS debugger to dig into what's going on with the state of this newly installed add-on.

The issue is that the theme has a "wrapper". And the way the wrapper determines the isActive value is by checking the active theme Id, and comparing it to the theme id of the current theme: https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/LightweightThemeManager.jsm#400 When a theme is is installed, the currently active theme will always be the previous one (or null), so isActive will always be false until after the new theme is installed. This means if about:addons is open at the time of installation, the first value read will be when the new theme has an isActive=false value.

Does setting the "isDisabled" attribute directly on the new element fix the issue? It seems like that would only fix it when a new theme is installed, not when you open about:addons with a few themes installed. Question: If you install a few themes, and then later open about:addons, does it still show them all as disabled? It seems like isActive should return true for the currently installed theme in that case.
I've changed the onInstall method to directly modify the newly added element if it is a theme, rather than calling the enable method with: >element.setAttribute("isDisabled", "false"); This won't cause issues because I don't think there will ever be a case where someone tries to install a disabled theme. Setting the element manually will work even when adding other themes and addons because when the new theme is added, the others are disabled. Adding extra non-theme addons is not affected by this change. If you close and re-open the about:addons page [or refresh it], everything will display correctly.

Can you post a new version of your patch for me to review?

I feel rather silly about this, but since my first patch, I've been doing a "mach build", and didn't do a "mach package". I only realised once you mentioned the typo. I've made a script that does both at the same time, to prevent this happening again. Turns out, the patch I had before wasn't enough, so this new version, which I have tested and checked that I packaged correctly, has different code.
