1446000 - Share menu uses next option if clicked one not available without informing the user

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect, P5)

Description

[Petru-Mugurel Lingurar [:petru]]

A video is better than a thousand words so please refer to the attached .mp4.

Steps to reproduce:
- open firefox (any recent version should suffice, tested on release 58 and experimental 61)
- choose to share with an uninstallable app, complete or not the action
- uninstall/disable that app
- return to firefox and choose to share again

Actual behaviour:
- last option chosen for share is the first offered, in this case the just uninstalled app
- after clicking it, without informing the user, Firefox starts the sharing process with the next available option

*If Firefox is restarted after the uninstalling of last app used for sharing, the share menu will present the right options.

[triage] Critical: Firefox sharing potentially private data with an application the user did not choose.
