No idea why it worked when Brief was first migrated to WebExtensions. I'd prefer to switch back to Ctrl+Alt+D if this does not break Firefox 60ESR compatibility.

The "Bookmark All Tabs" shortcut used to be disabled on Linux before Firefox 65 (bug 1504205), thus I've missed its existence.

This seems to be not a good idea. It'll cause the new tab to be opened as if the currently active tab opened it, but the currently active tab is just the tab you happened to be on when you peeked into Brief... does it really make sense to bind the new tab to it?

@tanriol I figured this was a bug, since it seems the original intention was to achieve the same goal using browser.tabs.getCurrent() (which does not return the current tab when called from a background script).
This fix makes it so that when Brief is closed the last tab you were on is displayed, which is usually the tab I want (returning to the workflow after a quick peek). This is also the purpose of the popup feature.

This is an interesting idea, but the Brief UI as done today does not feel a good match for a popup. In my opinion, it would be an interesting idea to have such a mode, but I'm not sure about making it a feature yet. I'd be fine with merging the support as a hidden option (pref-only, needs to be enabled from console) for now. |
