New Tab opening instead of windows explorer file

[pandagurlie]

This just started happening a couple of months ago: We're using the add on in Salesforce and sometimes a new Firefox tab will open instead of the windows explorer tab. I've noticed that the folder icon is there when it opens correctly and not there when it opens as a tab, but I can't figure out why it's acting differently since the file paths are all similar.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

Can you please give me more details?

• Version of the extension? Happened with latest version?
• What's the file type that's opening the new tab?
• Is anything opened in the new tab?
• Is there a message in the browser console?

I don't know Salesforce but probably they're using some javascript to load content. This should be no problem with the latest version.

I can't debug it for Salesforce because I'm not using it.

But it sounds like a dynamic link handling issue. If it's happening with the latest version I'll have a look - I know there is also an issue with link loading in an iframe. But iframe are rarely used so not sure if that's the problem here.

Version: 0.100.2 It's trying to open a Windows Explorer folder It opens a duplicate of the webpage that I'm on (Salesforce) No message.

It doesn't seem to be specific to the link itself because I was trying to open a particular folder when I opened the ticket and it was opening the tab itself (at the same time other links were working fine). But now that same link I was having problems with now shows the icon and is opening folders as expected.

This is now happening all the time - the duplicate tab always opens instead of a windows explorer folder.
