New tab -> same container override stopped working #233

Closed smichel17 closed 6 years ago

smichel17 commented 6 years ago

I know this is a problem with my configuration. That makes this a support request, not a bug report; don't feel any obligation to help. If we do figure it out, though, I'll send a PR adding our findings to the docs (if it turns out to be common enough that other people might run into it).

Firefox 60.0 on Fedora 28. Conex does work on a fresh profile, so it must be some configuration issue. However, neither reinstalling conex nor disabling all other add-ons did the trick. With addons disabled, the only things I can recall changing from stock FF are:

Any ideas for where I should look into next?

mmm ... sorry, no real idea. Race conditions occur when other plugins hook into the creation of new tabs. Do external Links (i.e. clicking on a Link in your Mailer) show the same symptoms?

smichel17 commented 6 years ago

External links work fine. I guess I'll just try migrating to a fresh profile. shrugs

Seems this might be a visual bug only. Currently when I open a new tab, it doesn't show any container, but when I hit enter, it shows the correct container (without reopening or anything). I didn't realize this at first because I was also affected by #246 at the time, so it actually did open the default container.

Finally figured it out! I had changed my new tab page to be a blank tab, rather than about:home, and apparently containers are not shown in blank tabs. I didn't notice it immediately because I turned off all the content on about:home, so there's only a few minor differences (eg, gear in the upper right) between it and about:blank.
