Attached image screenshot of problem

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • have a client certificate (or two) installed and available in firefox
  • open several tabs
  • open a tab with a website that uses a client certificate and show the certificate selection popup
  • switch to another tab

Actual results:

the certificate selection popup is shown in the wrong tab

Expected results:

the certificate selection popup is present only in the tab that triggered it.

NOTE: does not happen every time

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

Component: Untriaged → Security: PSM
Product: Firefox → Core

There are some cases where the implementation can't determine the correct tab to attach to, so it attaches to the entire window (you'll notice that the rest of the window is greyed out and can't be interacted with in the problem case).
