499050 - notification bar does not persist visibility on tab tear (docshell swap)

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

Currently when one tears a tab [into a new window] with a notification bar visible, the new window with the torn tab does not display the once visible notification bar.

This is really bad for geolocation's notification bar as the functionality is broken unless you specifically know to reload the window (not very obvious to end users).

STR: 
   1. Open one of the test cases, specifically the geo-location one.
   2. Open a blank tab so you can tear away
   3. Tear away the testcase into a new window  

ER: Tab opens in a new window with the same visible notification bar.
AR: Tab opens in a new window without the same visible notification bar.

Tested on latest 1.9.1 branch, Fx 3.5 RC2 build 2, and 1.9.2 trunk
