Description

[Emilio Cobos Álvarez (:emilio)]

The test-cases in bug 416771 don't work in Geckoview, but work in Fennec.

GeckoView delivers the focus request to apps via the onFocusRequest()[0] delegate method. It's up to the app to perform the tab switch if it wishes. Are you trying in Fenix, reference browser, or something else?

I was using Fenix, but I want to say that that code only seems to run when DOMWindowFocus events are dispatched, and that looks wrong, it should also run when the widget code focuses a tab. I'm actually trying to kill DOMWindowFocus (the Gecko event, not the geckoview message) at the moment, since since that bug we have two ways of doing the same on desktop.

James says this problem is specifically about blob URIs.

Is this a bug handling blob URI schemes or do we need a special principal?

I think we can close this now if someone can re-test and verify since we have bugs like bug 1891737 where it works in some cases, but not in Custom Tabs (because of a different issue).
