1212034 - "Fast Dial" add-on does not work with e10s

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Extension Compatibility, defect)

Description

[Aetf]

Attachment: Only a blank new tab opened without any title or URL after click a target="_blank" link

With e10s enabled and Fast Dial installed, links with target="_blank" will only open a totally blank new tab without any title or URL.

Step to reproduce:
1. Install Fast Dial
2. Enable e10s
3. Go to this page: http://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_links_target
4. Make sure in the source on the left the a tag has target attribute set to "_blank"
5. Click on the rendered result link on the right

Expected result:
The link opens and loads normally in a new tab.

Actual result:
A blank new tab opened without any title or URL. See attached screenshot.

I can reproduce this bug on Archlinux, Windows 10 and OS X using latest Nightly build. All systems are up to date.

I remembered that Fast Dial didn't cause this bug a months ago but I'm not sure.

With Firefox 57 only WebExtensions are permitted and are, by default, e10s compatible.
