2034114 - Selecting multiple tabs inadvertently removes the share option on windows

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect, P2)

Description

[Jeremy Swinarton]

STR:

1. Select multiple tabs via ctrl+click or some other method, on Windows.
2. Right click any of the tabs to open the tab context menu.

Expected result:

• "Copy N links" and "Share" should be available in the menu.

Actual result:

• Only "Copy N links" is available.

Notes:
When implementing the multi-link copy feature, we agreed that on platforms that expose a native share sheet (Windows and MacOS), we would continue to show the share sheet link and feed it the context tab (since these sheets only know how to handle one link at a time). This is correctly implemented on MacOS but on Windows we have inadvertently removed the share sheet option.

The bug is marked as tracked for firefox150 (release). However, the bug still isn't assigned and has low severity.

:cbellini, could you please find an assignee and increase the severity for this tracked bug? Given that it is a regression and we know the cause, we could also simply backout the regressor. If you disagree with the tracking decision, please talk with the release managers.
