Hello,

Verified the fix on the latest Nightly (72.0a1/20191103213857) under Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, MacOS Catalina 10.15 and Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS.

Clicking on the “Nightly Options” button from the Addons Manager page or the “Extensions & Themes” button from the Nightly Options page will switch between the mentioned pages, keeping focus on the tab from which the action was performed from. Also, as mentioned in Comment 1, right clicking the buttons does not work. The fix is confirmed.

Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED

Bugbug thinks this bug is a regression, but please revert this change in case of error.

Gijs, is that something we could uplift to beta or do you think there is some risk? Thanks

Bug 1592600 - fix prefs link in about:addons to ignore hashes/fragments as well as right clicks, r?mstriemer

Beta/Release Uplift Approval Request

  • User impact if declined: Broken link behaviour in about:addons / about:preferences
  • Is this code covered by automated tests?: No
  • Has the fix been verified in Nightly?: Yes
  • Needs manual test from QE?: No
  • If yes, steps to reproduce: Verification not really urgently required, but if you wanna do it, see comment #0
  • List of other uplifts needed: n/a
  • Risk to taking this patch: Low
  • Why is the change risky/not risky? (and alternatives if risky): This just fixes with what parameters about:addons opens about:preferences, and also takes the opportunity to avoid having right-clicks on either link do something like opening the item. It's a small JS-only patch, specific to the links being fixed.
  • String changes made/needed: Nope
