1859576 - When upgrading schemeless URLs from the address bar, Firefox does not log to the web developer tools

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Security, defect, P3)

Description

[Frederik Braun [:freddy]]

STR:

• Enable dom.security.https_first_schemeless
• Open the developer tools console
• Go to a website without a scheme (eg., example.com)

Expected behavior:

• We log that we upgraded a URL without a scheme to HTTPS

Actual behavior:

• We do not log.
• What I found is that the log message was sent to the global Browser Console and not to the right tab. It seems that the log call in https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/security/nsHTTPSOnlyUtils.cpp#443 is not targeting the right window.
