1384684 - File Input for Add-On Closes Popup

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1292701

(WebExtensions :: Frontend, defect)

Description

[kevgagser]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.86 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open any add-on with an add-on popup (in this case, MetaMask) (not a normal popup, but the add-on specific popup that is attached to the icon).
2) Navigate to a screen with a file select. Click the file select.

In the case of MetaMask, setting up an account, going into our hamburger menu, importing an account, selecting JSON as the import type, and then selecting the file select will reproduce this behavior.


Actual results:

This closes the popup.


Expected results:

The popup should not close and should stay open to wait for the file to be selected.

kevgagser, I don't quite understand the bug report. Can you provide super-detailed steps to reproduce the problem? Include:

The specific addon you are installing (link to addons.mozilla.org or another place it can be installed)
The specific steps a tester would take to visit the screen in question. Is this a website URL or a page provided by addon UI?
What version of Firefox are you running?

This sonuds like it might not be related to web plugins at all (the only plugin remaining is Adobe Flash).

We're sorry, we get our terminology mixed up across platforms--this is definitely related to add-ons and not web plugins.

The specific add-on is here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ether-metamask/

Specific steps for reproduction on this add-on:
1) Click through the various disclaimers
2) Enter a password when prompted
3) Click through the seed word confirmation
4) Click on the hamburger menu in the upper right hand corner.
5) Select "Import Account"
6) In the dropdown, select the JSON option.
7) Click the file select button that pops up.

Expected:
To have the file select window open while the popup window stays open.

Actual:
The file select window opens, but the popup window is closed.
