1340478 - Firefox doesn't handle the flag Browser.EXTRA_APPLICATION_ID from an Intent

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[laur.catalin]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I wanted to open an URL in the same tab, not a new one, by sending an Intent from my app with the flag Browser.EXTRA_APPLICATION_ID, which according to the documentation: "is a unique identification string that will be used to identify the calling application. The Browser will attempt to reuse the same window each time the application launches the Browser with the same identifier."

OS Version: Android 6.0.1
Firefox Version: 51.0.3


Actual results:

Firefox opened a new tab for my URL


Expected results:

Firefox should have opened my URL in the same, already opened, tab

Implemented in bug 840574 - This definitely worked some time ago (I'm rather annoyed by it).
