1050223 - Restrict ability to share text selection (if it all possible) to 'Send Tab to Device'

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Cristina Madaras, QA [:CristinaM]]

Environment:
Build: Firefox for Android 34.0a1 (2014-08-06)
Device: Asus Transformer Pad TF300T (Android 4.2.1)

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mozilla
2. Tap press-hold on a selected word
3. Tap on Share icon from the action bar
4. Choose 'Send Tab To Devices' option

Actual results:
'There was a problem sending your tab' toast notification is displayed.

Expected results:
I'm not sure what should happen:
'Send tab to devices' should not be an shareable option when a certain pice of text is selected to be share or 
the 'Send Tab To Devices' dialog with the available devices should be displayed.

If I recall correctly, this is because some sending apps send as plain text, so we're a handler for more than will actually work.
