Description of my issue:
I'm regular doing a backup of the site and restoring it as a test site for debugging of plugins and components, it also has the added benefit of testing the backup.
So the procedure is that I copy the backup files, upload the kickstart files (3.6.0-pro) and unpack them, and then it uses ANGIE (VERY nice interface btw.) and I enter the details there (in this case a site called test2.domain.com), and let it use a new database, sitename etc.
And now the disaster.
The data I've entered in the Db fields and sitename are ignored, and the ones from the original backup is used. I also do not get a notice (like in the ABI) that the site has moved, and if I want to clear the values.
Even worse, I've done this several times, and the second time it showed the DB fields for the test2 site when I started ANGIE, but it STILL used the running DB.
This has made some havoc for me, as I often delete a few things for the test databases, and I've had to do a reconstruct of those as they were deleted from the real site instead :-(
This is from a FF 19.0.2
