fix: exclude org.mozilla.plugincontainer

Open siikamiika opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

As a special case, make Applications.isActualApplication return false for Firefox plugincontainer so that it is not observed with the accessibility API. These processes do not support AX observer notifications although they report activationPolicy=accessory.

Hi @siikamiika,

I believe you shared the bug tracker were Mozilla fixed this issue on their side. This means we don't need a workaround in AltTab anymore, right?

Yes, I tested a build that worked without issues on AltTab 6.52.1. It was on Firefox Nightly 111 so if it gets accepted without a delay it would be released on 2023-03-14 according to the release calendar, but as far as I know it's not passed anything else but my review yet. I'm fine running my build of AltTab until the Firefox fix goes stable, but the release cycle is longer
