(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Do this search:
https://www.google.com/search?q=mr2+ct26&client=firefox-b-1-d&ei=U33mYpUvgoem1A-Tjaq4Dw&start=20&sa=N&ved=2ahUKEwjVpK_ul6P5AhWCg4kEHZOGCvc4ChDw0wN6BAgBEEo&biw=1920&bih=1019&dpr=1

Then click the first link from it:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiV68P7nKP5AhWxlIkEHZ1nCrU4FBC3AnoECBcQAg&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTwistedmotion%2Fvideos%2Ftwisted-motion-ct26-mr2-turbo-upgrade%2F1582940658406116%2F&usg=AOvVaw0d-WoKnvF7NMF0_JqlTJPN

which should go to:
https://www.facebook.com/Twistedmotion/videos/twisted-motion-ct26-mr2-turbo-upgrade/1582940658406116/

and all tab history disappears (back is disabled)

Comment 1

[Olli Pettay [:smaug][[e-mail]]]

can't reproduce

Comment 2

[Hsin-Yi Tsai (she/her) [:hsinyi]]

I cannot reproduce it, either.
That said, the search results I got were not entirely the same as comment 0. Anyway, I got to find the result link which goes to https://www.facebook.com/Twistedmotion/videos/twisted-motion-ct26-mr2-turbo-upgrade/1582940658406116/ . I clicked it and had no problem with navigating back.

Hi Randell,
What happens if you try with a new profile or trouble-shooting mode? Is the issue still valid?

Comment 4

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

I can't get that link to appear now. I'll see if I can find something like it again

Comment 5

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

I suspect this is as-expected due to how the facebook container works

Comment 6

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

Ok, I can reproduce this on command, and I suspect it's intentional (Facebook Container)
Google "mr2 turbo ct27 facebook" and then click on a link to facebook. The back arrow will be disabled.

And in a new profile, it doesn't happen until I install Facebook Container

Comment 8

[Gregory Pappas [:gregp]]

This is sorta intentional. It's not possible to change the userContextId of a tab. So for this type of navigation, the addon quickly deletes the existing tab and creates a new one with the correct userContextId. The session history gets lost in the process.

Thanks for the confirmation. So I think we can close this as WFM per comment 7 and 8.
