Tracked and added "regression" keyword.

Mark, looking at the attachment there is some inconsistencies in when the last context is shown and when it isn't when opening new tabs. Do you think this could be easy to fix for FF40? Thanks.

[:shell escalante]

needing info to Mike as Mark's on vacation this week.

I'd prefer _not_ to fix this for Fx40 (too late in the cycle anyway) and I believe the severity of this regression is low.

Fx41 is a possibility; we'll request uplift once we've got a fix landed on m-c.

I agree. I have untracked 40 and marked the release as wontfix.

Mike, here is another one that I will wontfix for FF41 as it does not seem to be a release blocking scenario. Is there a possibility to get a fix in Aurora42?

Comment 6

[Mike de Boer [:mikedeboer]]

No, and also not a high enough priority for Fx43.

Comment 7

[Fernando Campo (:fcampo)]

let it run free until the priority is high enough!

The prompt has been removed, so the bug is no longer present.
