Description

Assets end up in broken, outdated state when Firefox browsing session restored on startup directly to Dashboard -> Assets page.

Tooltip shows hostsFilesExternalListAbsolete instead of "Last update...".

Restarting uM or browser does not fix this.

Assets must be updated again to fix. Dashboard must me closed on startup to not end in this state again.
