1688887 - Add-on search field no longer works - Uncaught TypeError: aOpenParams is undefined

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[John Bieling (:TbSync)]

The function switchToTabHavingURI() does not have a default value for the aOpenParams parameter, but Geoff removed this parameter to a call here which causes the search to fail:
https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/mail/base/content/utilityOverlay.js#349

I propose to add a default parameter value for the aOpenParams parameter, same as for Firefox.
