User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a non-default profile.
  2. Open a second browser window by right-clicking on a tab then choose "Move Tab" > "Move to new window"
  3. Open a new tab.
  4. Attempt to interact with the UI. (In my case, I tried to close the primary tab using the close button and middle click. I also attempted to click into the address bar ack the hamburger menu on the right.)

Please note that changing tabs and the bookmark bar do work.

Actual results:

There is no response in the UI.

Expected results:

I should be able to interact with the entire UI.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Toolkit::Startup and Profile System' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Can you expand on this step? How exactly did you create the non-default profile. I'm assuming that for the subsequent steps you opened Firefox using that non-default profile but how did you do that?

Yes, gladly!

To create new profile:

  1. Open a fresh instance of Nightly.
  2. Visit "about:profiles"
  3. Click "Create a new profile"
  4. Click "Continue"
  5. Enter profile name.
  6. Click "Done"

To launch this profile:

  1. Open default instance of Nightly.
  2. Visit "about:profiles"
  3. Under the profile I want to use, click "Launch profile in new browser"

As part of my standard workflow, I generally have 2-3 profiles open at once.

After a Nightly update, this issue has gone away. I don't know exactly what happened, but I believe we can call this "fixed."

The severity field is not set for this bug.
:dao, could you have a look please?
