1503346 - Double-clicking an empty space in the tab bar doesn't open a new tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1424517

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

I'm on CentOS 64 7.0.

When I'm double-clicking an empty space in the tab bar that doesn't open a new tab. It's a bug. That used to work at least in Firefox 52 (maybe because I had "Hide Caption Titlebar Plus" add-on installed or maybe it worked even without it).

If you have the menu bar enabled, this is a duplicate of bug 1424517.
If you have both the title bar and menu bar disabled, it's intended behavior for a double-click on the tab bar to act as a double-click on the title bar (e.g. toggling the window size between regular and maximized).

Yes, I have both the title bar and menu bar hidden but treating double click in an empty space as a toggle between maximized and normal windows make very little sense because I guess > 95% of Firefox users always use this browser maximized.
