Fixed

• Tabs: incorrect url update of the group page linked to pinned tab (related #2255)
• Tabs: incorrectly calculated (shallow) invisibility of the new tab
• Tabs: wrong custom color/title, folded state, position after undo close (from notification)
  • Restore custom color/title and folded state (use Tabs.open(...))
  • Try to restore original position (parent/index)
• Drag and drop: native bkm folder is not included, only its children
• Keybindings: "Select all" keybinding doesn't select folded tabs (resolves #2128)
• Drag and drop/bookmarks: wrong parentId on dropping to root lvl of bkm panel (resolves #2140)
• Cannot open bookmarks or history visits if there is no tab panels (resolves #2147)
• Snapshots: overflowed delete button (resolves #2194)
• Site config popup: incorrect url parsing (resolves #2195)
• Containers: update tab colorization after containers update if colorization is based on containers
• Tabs/containers: created tab has unknown container (resolves #2237)
  Handle new container events in the sidebar to guarantee that container of a new containered tab is known.
• Tabs: incorrect handling of unloaded tabs opened from another addon (resolves #2249)
• Tabs: possible tree breakage and changing configured behavior with 'do not move it' setting (resolves #2280)
  • Added sub-setting for controlling branch creation logic. It works only for the 'do not move it' option. For the other options it's inactive and visualizes the behavior ('on' for the 'first/last child', 'off' otherwise).
  • Added the upgrade logic to preserve previous behavior with 'do not move it' option.
  • Fixed incorrectly found target panel with 'do not move it' option and the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent set to false
• A rare broken initialization with empty storage caused by race condition:
  Both sidebar and bg generate default sidebar configs with different panel ids.
  changed:
  • In sidebar, wait until bg set default sidebar config (or 5sec).
  • In sidebar, setup sidebar listeners after sidebar is loaded.
• Tabs: broken tree after cancellation of auto-closing child tabs in some cases (maybe related: #2267)
  This only applies to cases when the parent tab in the middle of a tree was closed by Firefox (e.g. Ctrl+W) or by another addon. And with these settings:
  'Warn on trying to close multiple tabs' = 'any'
  'Close child tabs along with parent' = all
  Changed:
  • Update parentId of child tabs that should've been removed (but it was canceled)
  • Try to restore the removed parent tab
  • Cancel the confirm popup of the previous close event in onTabRemoved
• Tabs: hidden native tabs keeps being highlighted
  Firefox ignores browser.tabs.highlight(...) call for hidden tabs
• Tab: prevent auto-scrolling with middle-click on the close btn
• Tabs: session restore detection and handling
  • Check pinned tabs too
  • Stop handling new tabs and other events if there is a possibility of session restore (perf)
  • Reinit tabs on false-positive detection (when batched new tabs have no Sidebery's data in session storage)
  • Correctly deal with deferred moving of newtab (cancel it)
• Tabs: incorrect index for a new pinned tab
• Tabs: reduce the time of the close button lock
  From 1s to 100ms. It's still helping with misbehaved mouse buttons but also will allow faster triggering of combined actions (e.g. mid-click: unload or close tab).
• Tabs: skip unloaded on tab flip by default
• Snapshots: exclude private windows by default
• Tabs: don't cache private windows
• Drag and Drop: broken drag and drop to the private window and between different profiles
  • Firefox no longer passes the 'application/x-sidebery-dnd' item via dataTransfer to windows in different incognito mode (an empty string instead), so pass this info the other way (IPC). The 'application/x-sidebery-dnd' is still needed to pass the info to sidebars of the other profiles.
  • Clear containers of dropped items from the other profile since their containerId refers to a different container.
• Mouse wheel tab switching with preselect: incorrect selection of the first/last tabs
• Tabs: incorrect tabs positioning when Firefox creates multiple tabs
• Setup-page: Broken favicons cache after import
  Set the saveAll flag true on loadFavicons to forcefully save the whole
  cache on the first favicon after import.
• Settings: Try to restore tabs tree after re-enabling 'Tabs tree structure'
• Tabs: Position of the new tab for options 'do not move it' and 'use general rule'
  • For 'use general rule', original openerTabId was used instead of using the general rule.
  • For 'do not move it', original openerTabId was used which moved the new tab horizontally (indenting it), creating the branch. Now, the flat list of tabs will be produced, which will emulate Firefox positioning for child tabs.
• New-tab-shortcuts editor: incorrect handling of duplicates
• New tab buttons shortcuts: 'Default container' option behaves as 'Not set' when opening new child tabs with middle click. Container is inherited from the parent tab instead of using the default one.
  Rename 'Default container' option into 'Not set';
  Add 'Default container' option which will open a new child tab in the default container.
• Tabs: remove redundant setting 'Create sub-tree on opening...' (resolves #1725)
  This ancient setting (groupOnOpen) is conflicting with 'New tab
  position' configs, which are controlling when a new branch should be
  created.
• Tabs: wait until tabs service ready before auto-reopening tab in different container
• Fragile initialization of group/url-placeholder pages
• Tabs: Don't save tabs cache if there is only one session restore tab
• Tabs: incorrect handling of session restore (ref #1709)
  Instead of patching only unpinned tabs state, this will start a complete
  tabs reinitialization from session data.
• Tabs: incorrect index of reopened pinned tab
• Tabs: handle pin/unpin only if this state was actually changed
• New-tab-bar: wrong container for default button in private windows
• Windows: set the correct initial incognito flag
• Tabs: can't create tab in a private window with incorrectly set default container in tab panel
  Force use of PRIVATE_CONTAINER_ID in private windows in createTabInPanel.
• Tabs init: move tabs to their panels on init (if needed) (ref #1709)
  • Refactored restoring tabs from cache and from session data.
  • Added detection of incorrect order of tabs and sorting to the right panels.
  • Moving unknown (new) tabs to the last active panel if possible.
• Tabs init: stricter cache invalidation rules (ref #1709)
  Use cache if it's fully matched with native tabs (except unknown (new)
  tabs and blindspots).
• Snapshots: check if sidebar is open before throwing tabs to it
• Snapshots: set openerTabId to preserve tree if no sidebar open
• Snapshots: adapt container on opening selected/clicked tabs
  Find existing container or create a new one.
• Web-req: hide proxy badge only if needed
• Update web request handlers right after container update
  This is needed for the correct opening of tab in this container right
  after applying a new container config.
• Snapshots: open tabs even if current panel is not for tabs
  Use panelId: NOID, the sidebar will find appropriate fallback
• Tabs: open: use lastTabsPanelId as fallback
• Snapshots: preserve customColor on opening individual/selected tabs
• Sidebar: no top padding in BottomBar if there's no .new-tab-btns
• Tab preview(in-page): decode url
• Setup-page: update storage info after modifying snapshots
• Setup-page: recalculate storage info after importing favicons cache
• Setup-page: Just imported favicons resets after visiting some site
  Reload favicons after import
• Sidebar: Center popups
• Bookmarks: incorrect recalculation of folder lengths on bookmark remove/move
  Calculate only 'bookmark' type
• Bookmarks: unexpected place for created bookmark node from context menu
  Create bookmark node inside the target folder only if it's open.
  Otherwise, create bookmark node after the target.
• Bookmark: empty title of folder is not rendered
• Bookmarks panel: incorrect saving of scroll position (at the top)
• Snapshots viewer: active snapshot exported(JSON) with the viewer guts
• Tab preview(in-page): preview is not closed on tab activation
• Navbar: remove bottom border-radius of the last item in vertical navbar
  This will increase click area and allow interact with the button when
  the mouse cursor at the bottom-(left/right) edge of the screen.
• Drag and Drop: onDragEnter: incomplete handling of dragEnter from the outside
• Drag and Drop: unexpected dstPanelId and dstParentId default values on reset
• Tabs: move: check target index and normalize it if needed
• Dnd/bookmarks sub-panel: wrong dst info for the bottom nav elements
• Dnd: bookmarks sub-panel closing right after drop
• Bookmarks: move/createFrom: set dst index to the end if < 0
• Mouse: tabs preselect: a separate config for 'active tab first'
  separated from the keybindings sub-setting
• Mouse: tabs preselect: don't pause preselection by default
  added scrollThroughTabsPreselDelay hidden pref for this
• Tabs: restore custom title/color on tabs reopening
• Tabs: inherit custom color from parent only if it's not set
• Tabs: onTabUpdated: false reset of favicon
  Use cached favicon instead of complete reset, this will make the
  favicon show faster for visited sites.
• Don't use an active new tab in loading state when opening settings
• Favicons: don't resize small enough SVGs
• Favicons: incorrect resizing of svgs
• Group page: incorrect rendering of favicon
• Dnd: simplify dragEnd event handling (resolves #2168)
• Tabs: inactivate dedupe menu option if one or less tabs selected
• Tabs dedupe: misleading labels
• Selection: don't use Iterator.prototype.some() until 140ESR
• Selection: correctly recalculate all selected elements after lock/unlock
• Selection: allow selection of only pinned or only normal tabs
• Snapshots: start range selection from the tab selected with long-click
• Listen keydown events instead of keyup for in-sidebar shortcuts to align with other apps

  To avoid ignoring the first click.
  First item will be selected on 'down' keypress.

  Closes #2060
• Tabs: undo close incorrectly restores descendants tree structure (resolves #2055)
• Inpage tab preview: hide on closing sidebar

  from showing and tabs dnd
