Tree Style Tab & Connex - open external link bug

[rdewolff]

After a fresh Firefox install, if I install Connex and Tree Style Tab plugin, I cannot open external clicked links.

When I click a link in another program, Firefox gets the focus, opens the tab, and closes the tab. All this very quickly.

Could you check this please?

what are your settings regarding "ask in which container to open external links instead of always using the current container"?

Just a note: if I disable Conex, the issue does not happen anymore.

I have tried both settings, and they both do not work.

Ok, thanks. Note though that compatibility with TreeStyleTabs is not high on the priority list atm.

After testing I've realized why this happens on a case.
https://github.com/kesselborn/conex/blob/master/conex-background.js#L467
Conex tries to open a new tab as a "child" of the original tab, and immediately closes the "parent" tab after the child is opened. On the other hand, TST automatically attaches the new "child" tab to the "parent", but its tree is internally still collapsed. Because the "parent" tab is closed before it becomes expanded, TST closes all children in the collapsed tree.

I think this problem must be fixed by TST side.

Thanks for the answer @piroor. I have updated the ticket piroor/treestyletab#2162 and added your feedback.
Let's hope someone can fix it🤞
