Details

While investigating Bug 1816061, we noticed that Marionette will not trigger a XULFrameLoaderCreated event when clicking on a link with target=top nested in an iframe.

This can normally be reproduced on the following test page https://bug1816061-testcase.glitch.me/

Clicking on the link manually should generate a XULFrameLoaderCreated event. Simulating a click with Marionette on Desktop will not.

However, simulating a click with Marionette on Mobile, with Fission enabled, will still trigger this event.

We should investigate why we are missing this event and how we could have a more accurate event simulation here.

My first suspicion is that this could be related to dispatching the events in the child process rather than the parent, but I'm not sure.

Julian, could you have a look what James suggested?
