1512089 - Helper app icon stuck on address bar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Toolbar, defect)

Description

[wael]

Attachment: Bug shown in orange on Bugzilla page

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 9; Mobile; rv:63.0) Gecko/63.0 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

Nothing, once it's stuck, it's stuck.


Actual results:

I was using Firefox normally then I went on YouTube for a random video, since then the helper item stuck. Another time, I was browsing a play store page and since then the icon stuck.

It's important to know that I went before on these sites without any problem.

In the attachment I circled the bug in orange.


Expected results:

No helper icons should appear on sites which have no related apps, like bugzilla (see attachment).

Thanks for the report!

Tested with Google Pixel (Android 9) and Samsung Galaxy S8 (Android 8.0) following your information from the description on release build (63.0.2) and Nightly (65.0a1 2018-12-04) and couldn't reproduce the issue. Do you have some add-ons installed or specific settings? Also if you have some exact steps to reach your issue, please let us know. I'll wait for your update, thanks.

Hello Stefan, and thanks for the quick reply.
There is no "specific steps" because i was using firefox normally and then i noticed that the droid icon (helper app icon) is not pointing to the right app, and the noticed that it "stuck".

Yes i do have addons installed, here is the list:
* AdBlock (please see notice in the end)
* Cookie Manager
* Default
* Grammarly for Firefox
* HTTPS Everywhere
* OneNote Web Clipper
* OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc.
* Super Dark Mode
* Tabliss
* uBlock Origin


Without checking it before, i decided to remove the AdBlock extension, as it was disabled and i replaced it with uBlock Origin for months.

But once i removed it, i noticed i don't have the problem.

Maybe it was temporary, maybe it needed a restart from the phone, maybe removing the disabled plugin helped it. But now I confirm that the problem is no longer there.

I will still follow up, and will let you decide anyway to close this issue or to keep it closed.

I'm here to help and if i can maybe contribute.

Hello wael, thanks for your update. I tried several times using your latest information with the same devices as in comment 1 but I still can't reproduce this issue. Due to this and your information, I'll make this issue as Worksfome for now. If you see the issue reappearing please don't hesitate to let us know, thanks.
