1837716 - Setting configFilePath causes initial tab process reuse to fail.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(GeckoView :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[jian]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/114.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/114.0.1823.37

Steps to reproduce:

Initializing GeckoRuntime will create a tab process which will be reused in subsequent createsession calls, resulting in only one tab process.

However, if GeckoRuntimeSettings is set with a configFilePath,
runtimeSettingsBuilder
.configFilePath(crxTemp)
this reuse mechanism will be disabled, and createsession will result in two tab processes. The unused tab process will become memory garbage. Please provide a method to prevent automatic generation of a preloaded tab process, or fix this problem.

Actual results:

This creates additional tab processes which waste memory.

Expected results:

After setting configFilePath, the generated tab processes should also be reusable.
