Automatic mode doesn’t work in Iceweasel #438

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Actual behavior

New tab, links loading in a regular tab and external links are not loaded in temporary containers when Automatic Mode is on.

Expected behavior

New tabs, links loading in a regular tab and external links automatically load in temporary containers.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Click on a link from an external program.
  2. New regular tab opens and load the link in Iceweasel.
  3. Open a new tab in Iceweasel.
  4. Type a URL that is not set in a MAC.
  5. Website is loaded in the regular tab.

Notes

Iceweasel is a rebranding of (and is based on) Firefox for the GNU/Linux Parabola distribution (Arch-derivative). It follows the regular Firefox version updates. ’New tabs’ is set to the default Iceweasel page in the browser settings.

I suppose that's a similar problem as #307

It looks like it. For now, I found a workaround by enabling the MAC isolation option. It’s slightly different but it can serve the same purpose.

Hopefully, it can be resolved with the next release. Thanks.
