Open in Safari (from Firefox) issue #51

Open Rackmani opened 3 years ago

Rackmani commented 3 years ago

Hi Andy et al,

Love this extension using in Firefox (current v 84.0.1) on a Mac, latest ios Big Sur 11.1. Have just noted that this extension still works perfectly when Safari is already open, but if not open it does still open the page as a new tab in Safari as before, but also opens that web page as a new repeat tab in Firefox which it goes to.

It didn't used to do this. Can you fix?

True, as far as I can tell, the problem is not with this extension. I guess this is a bug with macOS Big Sur.

Even running the open -a safari http://example.com from the terminal when Safari is not open, opens a copy in the default browser. I even tried to open a link with apple script and got the same behavior

tell application "Safari"
    open location "http://example.com"
    activate
end tell

Thanks Andy for looking into this. Is it worth reporting? And if so to whom/where do I report it?

These sorts of issues normally get fixed by OS updates. Anyhow you may want to report to https://discussions.apple.com/
