Hi! I found the problem which I think is major UI bug.

  1. Open some tabs on Firefox for Android.
  2. Go to another application with links and click some link within it. Select to open it in Firefox.
  3. Then try to click the address bar in Firefox. You'll expect to see the current page URL but it will show you the previous used URL opened in Firefox.
  4. Also, try to share that opened page to your another Firefox installation via the share menu. It will share the previous URL not current one as expected.

I'm ready to make necessary actions to help to reproduce this bug, please ask.

Hi Ihor

Thank you so much for flagging this issue up and giving nice clear steps to help reproduce this issue. Amazing!

I have just followed the steps exactly on my Android device in the last Nightly version of Firefox for Android and this does not appear to be happening. It is likely that this issue has already been looked at and there is a fix ready to roll out in a future update.

This does not mean that you report is wasted, but please keep an eye on future updates to see if this gets released.

Thank you for reaching out about this issue.
