Closed kephas closed 3 months ago

Abstract

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start Firefox with clean profile.
  2. Install TST.
  3. Go the TST preferences
  4. In Non-blank new tabs/New tab from Other Application/Container, select Inherit from the current tab
  5. Open a new tab with some container
  6. Create an HTML file /foo/bar
  7. From the command-line, do xdg-open /foo/bar

Expected result

A new tab opens, with the same container as the last focused tab, with URL file:///foo/bar

(you get this result if in step 4, you select (no control)

Actual result

A new tab opens, with the same container as the last focused tab, with URL about:blank?forbidden-url=file:///foo/bar

Environment

It is due to a restriction of WebExtensions API - we cannot reopen tab with specific container if it has special URL.

Did you turn the checkbox "Reopen tab with inherited container anyway, even if it has a URL unable to open by addon's permission" on? It is off by default and recommended to prevent opening such about:blank?forbidden-url= tabs from cases like this.

It was checked on my setup and this removes this behaviour, thanks!
