Details

Affected versions

  • Firefox DevEd 76.0b4
  • Firefox DevEd 70.0b11

Affected platforms

  • Ubuntu 18.04 64bit

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install DevEd 76.0b4, I used this tutorial:
    https://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/install-firefox-developer-edition-on-linux/ (I could only install it manually).
  2. Open Firefox Developer Edition
  3. Right click on the icon from taskbar

Expected result

  • Open new window and open new private window options are there.

Actual result

  • Only quit and all windows options are available (and Add to Favorites when DevEdition is not launched and pinned).

Regression range

  • Not sure if this is a regression, but I will say not, tried with an old beta version 70b11 but the same behavior is there.

Additional notes

  • I could not find a way to automatically install Firefox Developer Edition. I suspect that those options missing should be added in .desktop file.
  • Nightly is also affected by this but this is because Nightly does not come with a .desktop file (bug 1558762). This could also be the situation with DevEdition.
    Jan can you please shed some light here?
