Currently the Menu > Settings
either open an about:preferences
tab or switch to the existing on if any. However, it does not check whether the existing tab is in the current Firefox window or if it is in a different one.
This behavior, combined with virtual desktops, might give the impression that Menu > Settings
button is not working properly.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open
Menu > Settings
in the initial window. - Open a new window.
- Move the new window to another virtual desktop.
- Switch to the virtual desktop where the other window is (desktop manager, hides the initial window which contains
about:preferences
) - Open
Menu > Settings
in the new window.
Seen:
- Firefox highlight the current tab.
Expected:
- Firefox should open the
about:preferences
tab in the new window, in addition of having it opened in the initial window.
