1048065 - Tapping some search results open in the Search Activity

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Search Activity, defect)

Description

[Mark Finkle (:mfinkle) (use needinfo?)]

STR:
1. Open Search activity
2. Search for 'movies'
3. The search results should show "showtimes" for local theaters
4. Tap on the first one

Actual results:
* Another Yahoo search page opens in the same WebView

Expected results
* Link opens in Firefox

Honestly, I don't know if Yahoo is doing something on it's own or what. The next page is still a Yahoo search result, just for the specific theater I tapped. Maybe this is the 'best experience' anyway, but I'd like to know why it happens like it does. Even the progress bar kicks in.

By design we keep users in the search activity if they're navigating to another results page:

If this is expected, then I'm OK with it. No need for any action until we get user feedback.
