Broken with firefox 69.0 ?

[iago-lito]

Hey there. I use this addon a lot, and it seems that it doesn't work anymore after recent upgrade to firefox 69.0 : my duplicate tabs remain duplicates until I close them manually. Was this expected?

Hi,

First, the broken behavior is not expected :)

I cannot reproduce the problem with Firefox 69.0. I assume you use the latest version 3.4.1 of the add-on.

Can you give me more details about your issue and your workflow? (what you do exactly, it happens with any URLs, what are the options used, the close mode,..)

Thanks

...and check what make them (URIs) so special?

[iago-lito]

Yupe, thank you for support :) The issue unfortunately seems to affect all urls. The version showing up in firefox add-on tab is 3.4.1.

Here is something I have done, trying to be minimal:

• disable all extensions but DTC in the add-on tab.
• restart firefox.
• it opens on https://google.com/ by default on my laptop.
• click the + button to open new tab, then write https://google.com/ in the main bar.
• ⇒ a duplicate of Google is open, but the two tabs remain :\

Alternatively:

• restart firefox with DTC as only enabled extension.
• navigate here to this post.
• right click on the above google link, Open Link in New Tab
• repeat
• ⇒ two Google similar google tabs are open.. and remain :'(

Is there any log I could provide?

Here is some output as starter:

Can you also send the options used in DTC?

[iago-lito]

HA! I didn't know about these options :) They were as you show: On duplicate tab detected: Do nothing. Which is very wrong regarding the behaviour I expect X)

Everything went back to normal after I picked Close tab automatically instead.

The only thing left to report was that the value of this option somehow changed on its own when upgrading to firefox 69. This closes the issue for me :)

Thank you for support!

[JulianVolodia]

@iago-lito have you any upgrade log which tells us which Firefox did you used then? Or which options changed in your honest opinion?

[Peuj]

I don't think it's related to an update of Firefox. Most probably it's related to the bug (with options not saved) I've introduced in 3.4.0 and fixed in 3.4.1.

[JulianVolodia]

Oh, I see. Thanks @Peuj for clarification.
