1435769 - Opening new tab from address bar should use the same container group

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Justin Bailey]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:60.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.0
Build ID: 20180202102708

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a tab in 'Personal' Container (for example, mail.google.com)
2. Type a new address in the address bar on that tab; hit "alt-enter" to open the site in a new tab.



Actual results:

New tab opened in the "default" container.


Expected results:

I would like the site to have opened in the "personal".

This issue is important to me as I like to use keyboard nav as much as possible, and "Ctrl-L; type search; Alt-Enter" is a common pattern I use to do a search and view the results without replacing my current tab.

Without this behavior, opening a new tab in the "Personal" container is kind of clunky:

1. Alt-Enter, realize I opened a tab in "Default" container; close tab
2. Long-click "+" item next to tab list
3. Open Personal tab
4. Click address bar,
5. Type search.

Seems like the work in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1276880 would also apply to opening a new tab from the address bar.
