Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect, P1)

Description

[Simona Badau, Desktop QA, PTO 22-30June]

Found in

• Nightly 138.0a1

Affected versions

• Nightly 138.0a1

Tested platforms

• Affected platforms: macOS 15, Windows 11

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the Hamburger menu, click on Profiles, and then select New Profile.
2. Wait for the about:newprofile page to be open.
3. Click the X to close the tab.

Expected result

• According to the Figma specifications, a "Leave without naming" notification should appear when a user attempts to close the tab or navigate away via the URL bar while the name field is empty.

Actual result

• The tab closes without displaying the "Leave without naming" notification. The notification only appears after clicking Done editing (without naming the profile) and then attempting to close the tab.

Regression range

• Not a regression.

Additional notes

• The "Leave without naming" notification also does not appear if the user navigates away by entering a new URL in the address bar.

legit blocker.

beforeunload doesn't fire if you haven't interacted with the page--we'll need a workaround

Verified as fixed using the latest Nightly 138.0a1 on macOS 15 and Windows 11 - "Leave without naming" notification is shown even if the user does not interact with the page.
