[Description]

When trying to share a page as a reminder, on latest Mac versions (11 and 12) the reminder is empty, no title or link is passed/parsed from Firefox.

[Environment:]

Mac 11.0.5
Mac 12 beta
Mac 10.15.7
Not reproducible with 10.14.6 (share as notification still passes params correctly)

92.0a1 2021-08-03
91 RC
90.0.2

[Steps:]
  1. Open Firefox.
  2. Open a random page.
  3. File/Share, click on ..., enable reminders. (or use context menu on the open tab/Share)
  4. File/Share select reminders (or use context menu on the open tab/Share).
[Actual Result:]

The reminder is empty, no parameters are passed from Firefox to the Reminder. Seems to me that the original fix for this issue in bug 1455310 holds water until the newer versions of OSx arrived(10.15 onwards). My guess is that something changed for the newer versions of OSx and the fix from bug 1455310 needs updating.

[Expected Result:]

Reminder is populated with title and link to the page.

[Notes:]

Uncertain at this point why some OSx os'es have the reminder selection for share option and some don't.

Going towards and S3 severity due to the fact that this is broken since 10.15 but I reckon user impact is not that high given that this option is not a Mac default share option.

Severity: -- → S3

I cannot reproduce this on macOS 11.5.1. The reminder window has a link to the page at the bottom, with page title and favicon.

Maybe this is timing-dependent. The code from bug 1455310 creates an NSUserActivity and keeps it current only until the NSSharingService sends a didShareItems notification. Maybe it needs to be kept current for longer than that. Bug 1525788 would achieve that.

Priority: -- → P3
Whiteboard: [mac:integration]

I have had this issue for macOS 10 up until 11.5.1

The issue is inconsistent, sometimes the reminder stays blank for 5 seconds and then a link appears, other times nothing at all.

This may be a Reminders issue, but it is also not possible to paste text into the Title, nor the Notes section of the reminder.
