unable to open session in new window

[frei-l]

Describe the bug

I only discovered that Sessionic can restore sessions after installing the extension in Chrome. In Chrome, I can save a session and then open it in a new window simply by clicking the session's name. However, this functionality does not seem to work in Firefox.

After setting up the project locally, here's what I found:

• The openSession function works perfectly when using pnpm run open:ff.
• When I run build:ff and then install the extension in Firefox, the openInNewWindow function in src/background/utils/browser.ts consistently throws an Uncaught (in promise) Error: An unexpected error occurred.
• This error occurs when calling await browser.windows.create().
• If I set newWindow=false in the openSession function, it opens the session in the current window without any issues.

I am not very familiar with polyfills and am unsure how to address this issue.

Reproduction

1. open some tabs
2. save the session
3. open saved session
4. click but no response

already reproduced this in windows 10

Version

1.7.1

Browser

Firefox 125.03

Operating System

Severity

I'm using Firefox as my main browser and I have never encountered this.. I can't seem to reproduce it either. I'll wait for some more people to report on this so that I can have a way to reproduce this

Found the cause. It has something to do with browser setting.

Reproduction

• Firefox -> setting -> Home -> Homepage and new windows
• choose custom URLs
• input google.com and save setting
• try open session now
• no response

Solution specify the protocol, use https://google.com rather than 'google.com` will fix this.
