957044 - Keeping submenus (search, webconsole, etc.) on child tabs of the same domain open

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[sworddragon2]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131206145143

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to a site (for example this report).
2. Open some submenus (serach, webconsole, etc.).
3. Left-click a link on the same domain.
4. Right-click another link on the same domain and open it in a new tab/window.


Actual results:

1. On opening a link on the same domain with a left click all submenus are kept open.
2. On opening a link on the same domain with a right click and choosing to open it in a new tab the submenus are closed.


Expected results:

As we are on the same domain and the newly created tab is a child tab Firefox should inherit the submenus.
