1680808 - Protections panel stays open when navigating to a different site

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Protections UI, defect, P3)

Description

[Paul Zühlcke [:pbz]]

When I open the protections panel and a location change happens while the panel is open, it stays open showing outdated info.

Steps:

1. Open example.com
2. Open the web console
3. Run setTimeout(() => document.location.href="https://example.org", 5000)
4. Open the protections panel within 5 seconds

Expected result:
The panel closes once the browser navigates to https://example.org

Actual result:
The panel stays open

Tested with Nightly on Linux

The permission panel is not affected, it handles this case here: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/8d9564059dbc1e36fb9152e6b6227343d0b49662/browser/base/content/browser-siteIdentity.js#637,652
Could do something similar for the protections panel.
