1200694 - Reading list items added via the extension do not have a title

Status: NEW

(Firefox for iOS :: Reading List, defect)

Description

Reading list items that are added via the extension (for example from within Twitter) do not have a title when you visit the Reading List home panel.

(The reason for this is because all we get from the other app is the URL. To keep the 'Add to Reading List' process quick, we do not load the shared content in the extension to discover the title.)

Is this still outstanding?

There are two cases that I tested:

If you long press on a link in Twitteriffic and then share to Firefox, we only have the URL. This is not surprising, because nobody has loaded the content. Twitteriffic just has the link.

If you open a link in Twitteriffic in the built-in SafariWebViewController and then share to Firefox, we also only get the URL. This is unexpected. I would assume that loading that page in the SFWC would result in it knowing both URL and Title and passing that to the share extension.

The first is an unimplemented feature. The second may be a bug in our code that warrants some research.

Is reading list still a priority?
