User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:73.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/73.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. I quit Firefox
  2. I clicked a link in Discord (I believe this applies to any link in an external app)
  3. When Firefox (my default browser) opens, two windows open.

Actual results:

2 windows open. One contains a tab for the link I clicked on. The other is a blank window.

The BLANK window operates as normal, but the window containing the link has no menu items whatsoever. To see this in action, see the attached screen recording.

If the tab containing the link (but no menu items) is dragged to the blank window (with menu items), all new tabs created in that window will have no menu items. This also goes for the right-click menu on the bookmarks toolbar.

Expected results:

I'd expect a link to open in a new window with no strange side effects.
