[Enhancement] Enable Share menu for right-clicking on a tab in TST Sidebar (macOS)

Open ideologysec opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Abstract

Steps to see the situation

  1. Start Firefox with clean profile.
  2. Install TST.
  3. Right click on the standard tab bar at the top of Firefox's window
  4. Observe "Share" option in right-click menu that connects to macOS system services (AirDrop, Messages, etc)
  5. Right click on tab in TST sidebar
  6. Observe missing "Share" item
  7. edit userChrome.css to remove top tab bar and maximize vertical real estate
  8. be sad that you can't airdrop or iMessage a tab to someone except by using the "File -> Share" menu bar item in Firefox

Expected result

Context menu on a tab in TST has "Share" option

Actual (present) result

"Share" item in context/right-click menu does not exist.

I realize this is a "quality of life" issue since I can work around it with the File menu, but it's much faster to use a right-click on a single tab to share, especially with a mouse.

Environment

  • Platform (OS): macOS 14.2.1 Sonoma
  • Version of Firefox: 121.0 arm64
  • Version (or revision) of Tree Style Tab: 3.9.19

Sadly it is impossible because Firefox does not expose features to call the native "Share" command via WebExtensions API.

Is this a bug I could file with Upstream? where would be the best place to do that?

There is an already filed bug: 1706675 - Add an API to call the "Share" command of Firefox itself (on Windows 10 and macOS) and sadly it is resolved as "WONTFIX".
