Details
I'm a Thunderbird developer, and this is a really annoying problem there, but I can also reproduce it in Firefox so I'll list STR in Firefox terms:
- Open the Settings tab with the UI or by typing about:preferences in the URL bar.
- Open the browser toolbox
- Click the frame selection button, about:preferences is not listed
- Close and reopen the Settings tab
- Click the frame selection button, about:preferences is listed
It would be helpful if about:preferences was listed even if it was open before the toolbox.
I think the initial list is created by calling getAllBrowsingContextsInSubtree
on the top window, which is a chrome frame. But about:preferences is a content frame and therefore not in the same subtree. Opening the tab causes it to be noticed and added to the list.
Blocks: browser-toolbox
Thank you for the report!
I can easily reproduce this bug on my machine (Win10, latest m-c)
