1758921 - Navigating new container list with the "N" key closes the container list, and instead opens a new tab

Status: RESOLVED MOVED

(Core :: DOM: Security, defect)

Description

[Sam]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:98.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/98.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Right click the "+" button, as if you are going to open a new container tab
2. Press the "n" key, to jump to containers with names beginning with "n"

Actual results:

The container list closes, and a new, containerless tab is created instead

Expected results:

The container list should've jumped to containers beginning with "n". This seems to work for all other keys, but "n".

On mac pressing a letter only selects an item and doesn't activate it (an irrelevant platform difference). In that case you can see that it's selecting the top "No Container" item, which does match "N". Nice thing about the Mac behavior is that I can then arrow down the list, so if I had "N" containers I could type something close and go down one.

You can also assign a key shortcut to your "N" container in addon prefs

Container UI bugs really belong in the add-ons's github repo: https://github.com/mozilla/multi-account-containers/issues/

I'm going to "wontfix" this for my team (handling bugzilla bugs for other parts of "DOM: security") but you can re-file this as a github issue if you want to argue key assignments with them.
