GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 662765
Wrong identification of opened window

Created attachment 200021 [details] screenshot When I opened the link that hbons posted in the attached screenshot I got the notification that you see in the same screenshot. The notification tells me that a different page was opened. I think it happened to be the tab that was previously visible before the new page was loaded.
Right, what happens is that when you click on a link, Firefox says "hey, look at me", triggering the window attention handling. Firefox only changes its window title after the page loads, which could be some time after it sends the window attention handler signal. We already update the notification if the window title changes, I believe, so I'm not sure how else we can fix this.
As you can see it doesn't update though. Also, apparently Firefox isn't "ready" when we say it is. Also, I should be seeing this anyway. We should present the window.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
