1915625 - issue with url in reddit with open new page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1915888

(Firefox for Android :: Tabs, defect)

Description

[Lazy Monkey]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:129.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/129.0

Steps to reproduce:

login into www.reddit.com
and configure it to open posts in new tab (in settings -> preferences -> Open posts in new tab).

then load some reddit sub, as example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/

now click on any post you like.
the post is opened in a new tab, as an example:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1f32tn8/mozilla_is_working_on_redesigning_the_settings/

Actual results:

the url in the original tab is changed to the same url opened in the new tab.

in my case the url of the first tab is changed from
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/
to:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1f32tn8/mozilla_is_working_on_redesigning_the_settings/

but the page content is not updated!

If I click back button the url changes to the correct one, in my case from:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1f32tn8/mozilla_is_working_on_redesigning_the_settings/
retuens to the correct url:
https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/
but the page still is not reloaded.

this started happening some weeks ago on android fenix, and now it started happening also on firefox on desktop (win10).

I have tried on a brand new firefox profile with no extensions installed and it still happening.

Expected results:

the url in the original tab should not change at all!

forgot to say: on chrome it's not happening.

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

Hi Lazy Monkey, thanks for reporting this bug. I am able to reproduce it. For the issue with desktop, do you mind filing another bug under Firefox :: General so the appropriate engineer can take a look at the issue on desktop. Thanks!

created new bug for desktop:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1915888

but I'm not able to set the component as Firefox::General as you asked.
