To get familiar with the Remote Protocol, and how to submit patches and request review on those, please read: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/remote/index.html

For invalid URLs like abc our Page.navigate method doesn't throw an error. Following a comparison between Chrome and Firefox:

Chrome:

  puppeteer:protocol SEND ► {"sessionId":"AFD670E27BB05E7DCC1D7F8D4B2CEACF","method":"Page.navigate","params":{"url":"asfd","frameId":"E5821CBA23333F71DED2BF5FF64A35E2"},"id":15} +1ms
  puppeteer:protocol ◀ RECV {"error":{"code":-32000,"message":"Cannot navigate to invalid URL"},"id":15,"sessionId":"AFD670E27BB05E7DCC1D7F8D4B2CEACF"} +1ms

Firefox:

puppeteer:protocol SEND ► {"sessionId":1,"method":"Page.navigate","params":{"url":"asfd","frameId":"10"},"id":15} +1ms
1579598516682	RemoteAgent	TRACE	(connection {d1d037a4-51ba-5e4c-b337-a09de75a64ee})-> {"sessionId":1,"method":"Page.navigate","params":{"url":"asfd","frameId":"10"},"id":15}
1579598516686	RemoteAgent	TRACE	<-(connection {d1d037a4-51ba-5e4c-b337-a09de75a64ee}) {"sessionId":1,"id":15,"result":{"frameId":"10"}}

This can easily be fixed by using new URL(url) before calling this.docShell.loadURI(), and wrapping this all into a try/catch for throwing a better error message, which maybe could be similar to what Chrome raises. Therefore we would also have to change the navigation.spec.js test by removing the if/else block. The latter change warrants a pull request on the puppeteer repository even before a patch gets landed in our repository.

I have successfully built Firefox and am looking for some new bugs to work on. Can I work on this?

There can only be a single assignee, and thepower asked before. So you may want to find a different bug to get started. Maybe bug 1590451 is something for you?

Ok, but I am in middle of submitting a patch

Please be respectful with other contributors, especially when we don't know about their current state yet. You can keep your patch for now, just in case theprover won't be able to finish it, or give an update within a week.

I was not trying to be disrespectful, I am sorry it felt that way. I have already moved to another bug

This will be fixed in Bug 1599257
