867515 - Defect - Junior Style "Back" & "New Tab" buttons not displayed when opening links via "New Tab"

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Metro Graveyard :: Browser, defect, P2)

Description

[Kamil Jozwiak [:kjozwiak]]

When opening a link using "Open link in new tab" under the context menu, both the "Back" and "New Tab" junior-style buttons will not appear in the new page that has been opened.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1) Open Firefox Metro
2) Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
3) Tap and hold on any link and then let go, you should receive the context menu
4) Select "Open link in new tab" from the context menu and a new tab will be created
5) Slide in the "Tab App Bar" through the top or bottom and select the new tab that was created (you will notice that the junior-style buttons are missing)

Reproduced this several times using the steps above. Once you go to another page in that window, the buttons will re-appear.

Current Behavior:

- Opening links through "Open link in new tab" doesn't create the junior-style buttons on the newly created tab

Expected Behavior:

- The newly created tab should have the junior-style buttons present just like any other page

Used the following build:

Went through the checks in comment #3 for iteration #10 and everything seems to work, but I don't know that the Junior buttons make sense in snap view.
