Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect, P3)

Description

[Mark Slater]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Whenever a website takes over full-screen w/ keyboard access, Firefox shows the "[website] has control" float-down notification window.

2. Without closing the browser, even days later, that same notification box will randomly show up again, despite my long-since having closed that tab

Actual results:

even days later, that same notification box will randomly show up again, despite my long-since having closed that tab

Expected results:

Firefox should realize i closed the tab and cancelled that notification window

Hi, Mark

I tried to reproduce this issue on the latest Nightly 109.0a1 (2022-11-14) using macOS 11.6, but I wasn't able to recreate it. I followed the link adress in the attachment you provided, turned to full-screen, but I couldn't get the notification described.

Can you test the issue while in Safe Mode? You can find helpful info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode.
Also a fresh new profile could help.
If possible, you can test this issue on the nightly build as well.
