1860975 - Opening Links from external applications opens a new window with new tab page instead of opening the link

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Widget: Cocoa, defect)

Description

[Jan Jaeschke [:jjaschke]]

After updating Nightly today, links in external apps (so far I tried Apple Mail and zsh) don't open correctly. Instead of opening the link in a new tab in the top-most browser window, a new window is launched and only the new tab page is shown, ie. the requested link is not opened. This happens each time the link is clicked.

Links opened from Nightly seem not affected.

I can observe this behavior on MacOS. Ubuntu works. Trying Windows now.

Windows 11 also seems unaffected.

I can confirm this is happening for me as well on Mac OS 14.0 since the update to Firefox Nightly 121.0a1 (2023-10-24).

I ran mozregression --good 2023-10-23 --bad 2023-10-24 with the following result:

6:48.38 INFO: No more integration revisions, bisection finished.

This points to bug 1845407 being the regressor.

Apologies. This was due to wrong arguments passed to nsICommandLineRunner::Init.
