Bug 1766896 - Redirect attempts to load something else in the Firefox View tab to new tabs. r=gijs
48 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review
  • There's a discussion to be had about what should happen when the user attempts to load something in the MyFirefox tab (which is a toolbar button rather than a real tab).
  • With the current patch from bug 1762903, we don't try to prevent or otherwise handle loading something, so any load just goes through.
  • My proposed solution is to redirect loads to new tabs. I think most frontend ways we would be concerned about should in theory should go through openLinkIn from utilityOverlay.js, so perhaps something can be put in place there.
