1962677 - Dismissing keyboard on newly-created tab doesn't create blank tab

Status: NEW

(Firefox for Android :: Tabs, defect)

Description

[Andrew Overholt [:overholt]]

Steps to reproduce

1. Have multiple tabs (let's go with 4) and be on the tab switcher interface
2. Press the + to get a new tab
3. On the newly-created tab (which has top sites and the "Jump back in" section, etc., dismiss the keyboard
4. Look at the tab count

Expected behavior

• tab count is now +1 from what you had (5 in this example)
• there is a tab thumbnail in the switcher corresponding to the newly-created tab you're on
• dismissing the tab switcher shows you the newly-created tab you're on

Actual behavior

• tab count is not increased
• the tab switcher shows the previous tab count (4 here) and thumbnails
• there's no thumbnail of the tab you're on

Device information

• Firefox version: Nightly
• Android device model: Samsung A54
• Android OS version: 14

Any additional information?

• I'm pretty sure this behaviour is different in Chrome on Android and Firefox for iOS
• Video that is jankier than I'd like: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMGbWja9mtVlxRUMfb7-CFEF7lk7iYVRUlRBV2qyVmpx0fXWvyXRwvxJAySmPCLGA/photo/AF1QipPIWzHwKq-dFIm3uXFfxbUssvk_9sDCTXHI1xh0?key=MS1pMlhRVUVSQ0p5dzZNaFNPenZMa3NYVVZEaEdR

Thanks for filing this bug! The fix for this is part of the overall effort from the Homepage as a new tab project, which is in-progress.
