1964303 - Clicking "copy link" with multiple tabs selected only copies the first tab URL

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[mashkal2000]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:138.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/138.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Open 2+ tabs and go to some site in each one
• Select every tab
• Click "copy link" on one of the tabs

Actual results:

The URL copied is the URL of that one tab

Expected results:

The URLs of each of the tabs are copied, in the same format as right-clicking a bookmark folder and clicking "copy". e.g.

Daily Games
https://www.merriam-webster.com/games/quordle/#/
https://connections.game/

That is the workaround for this issue - select all the relevant tabs, click "Bookmark tabs...", right-click the new bookmark folder, click "copy".

Mashkal2000, can you please mention where did you found the copy link button? because I selected multiple tabs, but there where no copy link option only bookmark and other. Can you please attach a recording of the issue? Thank you.

I was able to reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 24.04 using Firefox build 142.0a1. After selecting 2 tabs and selecting copy link in one of the tabs only the current tab' link is copied. Not sure if it was ever implemented to copy link from each of the selected tabs.
Marking issue as new for engineering input. Thank you.
