SoftVision-CiprianMuresan commented 7 years ago

[Affected versions]:

Nightly 58.0a1
Beta 57.0b5
Release 56.0

[Affected Platforms]:

All Windows
All Mac
All Linux

[Prerequisites]:

"extensions.searchvolmodel.logging" pref is set to 40 (integer) on a clean new profile.

[Steps to reproduce]:

Open the browser with the profile from prerequisites and focus the address bar.
Perform a search with Yahoo that will generate ad links.
Middle click one of the adverts.
Verify the telemetry pings.

[Expected result]:

A single ping is logged.

[Actual result]:

No ping is logged.

[Notes]:

The issue is not reproducible if you open an advert in a New Tab with ctrl/cmd+click or if you use the context menu option.
The issue is not reproducible on Google, I can't verify Bing because of #11.
Attached a screen recording of the issue:

I believe the root cause here is the same as in #17 and the add-on is working properly.
