I've been debugging a problem with the Temporary Containers extension over on GitHub and thanks to this bug report, I was able to discover that when you have fission.autostart = true, Nightly wants to open about:blank before each left-click and this has the unintended side effect of loading about:blank in the parent tab and and the clicked link in a new tab, completely destroying the navigation flow.

Our discussion and STR https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues/317

The problem disappears completely when I disable fission.

Two users on reddit are reporting that they still see this problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/h9nijv/announcing_fission_dogfooding/fuygd6d/

STR from https://github.com/stoically/temporary-containers/issues/317:

  1. Visit www.duckduckgo.com
  2. Search for anything your heart desires
  3. Left-click on any result to go to new tab with your search result (middle click doesn't produce this behavior)
  4. Go back to the Duck Duck Go tab and find that it's blank, the URLbar is empty and the only remnant that you were ever there is the title of the tab never changed.

Expected behavior

search tab remains the same, nothing happens to it, i can go back and forth with ease

Actual behavior

Search tab becomes blank, URL disappears, unable to reload page

Nika says this is a known bug fixed by Matt Woodrow's bug 1626362.
