Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:107.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/107.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • set a Primary Password
  • install a plugin that opens a window when some specific webpage loads (for instance : Metamask and a web3 webpage)
  • open this specific webpage
  • exit Firefox and save the tabs
  • launch Firefox

Actual results:

  • some loading saved page is requesting a password, the Primary Password dialog opens
  • the password is being typed
  • the plugin opens a window which takes the focus (for instance : a loading saved page is requesting a web3 account, the Metamask plugin opens the account window)
  • the Primary Password dialog loses the focus and the user action is interrupted. It is even probably wasted since it is almost impossible to know where in the password the interruption has happened.

Expected results:

The new windows opening while the Primary Password dialog is on should not take the focus.
