Status: UNCONFIRMED

(GeckoView :: General, enhancement)

Attachment: Screenshot_20230219-204524.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Android 13; Mobile; rv:109.0) Gecko/112.0 Firefox/112.0

Steps to reproduce:

Set Firefox as default
Open telegram / aliexpress, find click on a weblink
Observe website will open on external Firefox custom tab.

Actual results:

When the website opens, in Firefox custom tab, parts of the website elements (scripts or frames) are typically blocked due to ublock origin filtering.
I am then looking for the addins menu, to open ublock origin options, and allow configure website filtering using the ublock origin matrix.
However, Firefox custom tabs does not show the addins menu, so I have to open in Firefox full app, and adjust the settings.

Same would also likely happen to other addins, say noscript addin, dark webpage addin, the user will not be able to change addin options that interfere with the Web page loading.

Expected results:

WebLinks that open in Firefox custom tabs has a webpage appearance issue due to a addin, as explained above.
Click on the menu, open addin menu, select desired addin to fix the website appearance.

Hope this makes sense.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Moved to Gecko View as its related to Firefox android. Hope this is correct.
