1380202 - Window context bug in target="_blank" and window.open()

Status: NEW

(Firefox for iOS :: Browser, defect)

Description

[Richard Newman [:rnewman]]

See Bug 1379834, which is the exact same bug in Responsive Design Mode on desktop.

I reproduced this in 8.0 Nightly on iOS 10.

Safari gets this right, and we get it wrong.


Steps to reproduce:

Open http://muwlauncher.com/firefoxBug.html.
Hit the button.

Expected: you'll see myData, important_data.
Actual: blank page.

This implies that we're not sending form data to the destination; we're just opening a new window and loading it.


Quite possibly we also don't return the window object from `window.open` -- see Bug 1379834.
