Description Christian Stadelmann 2016-06-25 08:33:33 UTC

Description of problem:
firefox builds from wayland-copr behave differently than "normal" firefox builds when opening URLs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-47.0-7.wayland.fc24.x86_64
gtk3-3.20.6-1.fc24.x86_64

How reproducible:
always. With x11 or wayland backend

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open firefox (no matter whether you are running it with x11 or wayland backend)
2. from any other application, click a URL
3. watch firefox

Actual results:
firefox always opens a new instance, even though firefox is already running

Expected results:
By default, firefox should open URL in previously running instance. This works fine with "normal" firefox build from fedora/updates/updates-testing repos.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 21:17:38 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Martin Stransky 2017-07-29 07:25:35 UTC

Should be fixed now, Firefox on Wayland uses D-Bus to connect to another FF wayland instance.
