[Notes]:

  • This behavior is reproducible on every state of the Pocket doorhanger:
    -> Save to Pocket (not logged in)
    -> Saved to Pocket (logged in)
    -> Page removed (logged in)

[Affected versions]:

  • Firefox Release 81.0
  • Firefox Beta 82.0b5
  • Firefox Nightly 83.0a1

[Affected platforms]:

  • Windows 10 x64
  • macOS 10.15
  • Ubuntu 18.04 x64

[Prerequisites]:

  • Have the Firefox browser installed.

[Steps to reproduce]:

  1. Open the Firefox browser.
  2. Navigate to any website (e.g. www.wikipedia.org).
  3. Click the "Save to Pocket" button from the right part of the "Address Bar".
  4. Right-click anywhere on the Pocket doorhanger.
  5. Observe the behavior.

[Expected result]:

  • Nothing should happen, the context menu should not be displayed.
    OR
  • A correct context menu is displayed

[Actual result]:

  • An incorrect context menu is displayed.

[Additional Notes]:

  • On Beta and Release channels the context menu displays ALL of the options of the browser's context menu.
  • Attached a screen recording of the behavior.

After further investigation, it seems that the issue, as seen in the attachment is intermittent. We've managed to reproduce it and not reproduce it in the past 2 days with both a standard Pocket account and a premium Pocket account on Firefox Nightly 83.0a1 and Firefox Beta 82.0b5 using macOS 10.15.6, Windows 10 x64, and Ubuntu Linux 20.04 x64.

I can confirm I also see weird behaviour where it is sometimes a huge context menu shows up and sometimes a smaller one does.

In both cases, I don't think the context menu is one that is appropriate for this doorhanger.

Also, this issue is present on ff81, which is before this feature landed. I don't think fixing this should block on save recs, but good to have filed.
