1514547 - Can't open roblox

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[aydanoliver]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open the roblox program via clicking play on a game through https://roblox.com (the way you play roblox games is by going to them and clicking play and if you have roblox installed it will open)


Actual results:

Roblox says it's loading, but never launches. My friend is also using Firefox Nightly and is experiencing the same issue. This started happening about a week ago or so and hasn't fixed, so I am forced to use chrome in order to play roblox.


Expected results:

Roblox says it's loading, then a moment later, the program launches if you have it installed.

What's shown in the 'console' and the 'network' tabs of the Web Developer Tools when this happens?

Per Comment 2, I'll set this as Core: XML. Please correct if you feel this might be in a better component.

It would be helpful if you could find the exact regression range.

(I can't do this myself, since testing requires signing up for an account and installing separate software)

Andrei, can your team look for a regression range? Thanks!

I have managed to reproduce this issue using Firefox 66.0a1 (BuildId:20190122215349) on Windows 10 64bit and macOS 10.13.6.

This seems to be a regression:

Last good revision: 2ee2f297c4106e017231ed67fba4034d766c942b

First bad revision: c4bf214bd2e65e460fcd24a6483635c1d5cb4771

Pushlog:
https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/pushloghtml?fromchange=2ee2f297c4106e017231ed67fba4034d766c942b&tochange=c4bf214bd2e65e460fcd24a6483635c1d5cb4771

It seems that, on good builds, a prompt was displayed giving the user an option to launch the Roblox application (on affected builds, the prompt is no longer displayed and the game cannot be launched).

The following error pops inside the browser console:

Hi Andrea! Can you please have a look into this? Thanks!

Can you check if bug 1517368 fixes this issue?

Comment 9

[Emil Ghitta, QA [:emilghitta]]

Unfortunately, Bug 1517368 doesn't seem to fix this issue.

Attachment: part 1 - no error shown when blocking

This patch does 2 things in 1 line:

1. It doesn't show an error message when the iframe is blocked.
2. Because of this, it keeps the same URL loaded in the iframe.

I don't have a nice way to write a test for it.

Attachment: part 2 - timing token

As discussed on IRC, this patch introduces the concept of 'timing' token for external protocol iframe. At the moment, this token is used just for iframe, and I don't want to generalize it for a bigger scope.

The idea is this:

1. if external protocol iframes are loaded with user-interaction, PopupBlocker uses the user-interaction token as before.

2. if they are loaded without user interaction, if the window is active, PopupBlocker tries to use the timing token: only 1 external protocol iframe is allowed any 20 seconds. (20 secs is by pref).

I expose the timing to chromeUtils for the testing.

20s is really long. I'd use something like 5

Hello I use an Invite link from my discord on my site: https://minecraftshader.com/ however I wish it was possible to use some js code with a button instead of the link, similar to torrent links. Does anyone out there understand about this?

Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro chính hãng nổi lên như một hiện tượng bởi nó mang cấu hình cao cấp nhưng chỉ được định giá ở phân khúc tầm trung.
