User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/83.0.4103.116 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

User tried to open custom Content Type via electron link (file://<link>), browser seems not reacting to this request.

Issue discovered with 78.0.1 and only for part of users.

Actual results:

  1. Nothing - Application was not launched nor option to choose application
  2. With Debugger console turned on issue is not happening, application is launched successfully

Expected results:

Expected to launch link or choose application to launch based on settings in handler.json

Is there any difference in launching via Standard user mode & Developer debug mode which could affect the behavior?

Bugbug thinks this bug should belong to this component, but please revert this change in case of error.

Product: Firefox → DevTools

I'm not familiar with how that launch dialog comes up so it's hard to say why it works when devtools is open. If it's unexpectedly not working when devtools is closed, we should keep this on the Firefox side to dig into.

hi, thanks for the report - it sounds like the same issue as bug 1651014 which should be addressed in a firefox 78.0.2 release.
