Links opened from extensions do not open in temporary containers #355

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Actual behavior

Open an extension that exposes a link from a pop up in the firefox tool bar. Click the link. The link is opened in normal tab, not a container.

Expected behavior

The llnk is opened in a temporary container always.

There was some reason why Automatic Mode doesn't kick in when opening links from moz-extension:// pages (like add-on popups), I can't remember exactly why, have to look into it at some point.

Workaround is to enable global navigation isolation, which works in that case.
