Bug between Todoist and Firefox

[kud]

Context

• Firefox 36.0a1 (2014-10-14) and latest Aurora
• Mac OS X 0.10.9
• Todoist plugin for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/todoist/

Use case

• Go to a website which has a hashbang like Bug between Todoist and Firefox #11 (comment) (the link must have a hashbang)
• Add a task like https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/1490ef3c7f1be523 in todoist
• Click on the task
• You'll get https://github.com/putaindecode/fix-all-the-things/issues/11#inbox/1490ef3c7f1be523, firefox won't change the domain, just the hashbang.

It works well on Chrome though.

Code in todoist (via browser toolbox):

<span class="text">
  <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/1490ef3c7f1be523" class="ex_link" target="_blank" onclick="return linkRedirecter(this)">
    <img src="https://d3ptyyxy2at9ui.cloudfront.net/76084e29cb2cf72b320e888edc583dfb.gif" class="cmp_email" width="16">
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/1490ef3c7f1be523</a>
    <span style="visibility: hidden;" class="clickable note_icon"><img class="cmp_note clickable" src="https://d3ptyyxy2at9ui.cloudfront.net/76084e29cb2cf72b320e888edc583dfb.gif" width="15" height="14"></span>
  <div></div>
</span>

It could be onclick="return linkRedirecter(this)" or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483304 ?

Maybe due to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483304 ?

Okay, let's talk about it there so for the moment. Thank you @hallvors :)

Please explain how location.hash being unescaped on firefox causes problems with todoist. How are you even using todoist? Via some browser exstension or a bookmarklet? How do you click on a todoist entry without your URI being something like https://en.todoist.com/app?

The place to talk about Gecko bugs would be https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform

@binki I've updated the use case. ;) See #11 (comment)

[binki]

Looks to me like a bug in how todoist tries to be smart and reuse your existing GMail tab to open the email link in or something like that. Quite sure that the bugzilla bug you reference is completely unrelated and you were just bugspamming :-p.

[binki]

To work around, just logout of the todoist addon and then log back in before ever clicking a link in todoist.

[kud]

Logout and login didn't change anything.

[binki]

Does for me: http://youtu.be/PlfBU88Y3-w

[kud]

Oh yes, sorry. Yes it works like that, but when you click on the second time, it doesn't work anymore. Not really useful.

[binki]

Then complain to Todoist :-p

[kud]

You're right @binki :)

(Apologies if that was a wild goose chase - I should probably have investigated more in-depth, but I've seen a few compat problems caused by the hash escape/unescape incompatibility. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1025589#c6 is a bad one. So I'd check that out first ;))

I don't know who is in fault for the moment. I'll try to go deeper too.
