Firefox right-click "Open Link in New Private Window" seems to have broken as of TabMixPlus v1.22.0

[ckriger]

As the title says, "Open Link in New Private Window" used to work fine before the latest TabMixPlus update, and still works fine if I disable TabMixPlus as a test, but otherwise nothing happens now if I right-click a link and try to use that option.

Any ideas?

@ckriger,
Thank you for reporting this issue.

What is you Firefox version and operating system?
Do you see any message in the Browser Console when trying to use Open Link in New Private Window
Does it happened with all links?

Attach a file with you Tab Mix Plus preferences.

I am running Firefox 129.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10, and I have attached my prefs file.

TMPpref.txt

I do get the following error in the Browser Console when trying to open seemingly any/all links with that "Open Link in New Private Window" option:

Uncaught ReferenceError: win is not defined
    openLinkInPrivateWindow chrome://tabmixplus/content/changecode.js line 222 > eval:2
    <anonymous> chrome://browser/content/browser-context.js:50
2 changecode.js line 222 > eval:2:22

Hopefully that helps you track it down but let me know if you need anything else, thanks!

Curious if it "just works" for you?

I can not reproduce it on Windows 11.

I have to investigate more...

go to your Browser console
enter the command nsContextMenu.prototype.openLinkInPrivateWindow.toString()
click enter.
post the result here

If you can not see command line in your Browser Console, close it.
set in about:config devtools.chrome.enabled to true and open Browser Console again

[ckriger]

Here's that result:

'openLinkInPrivateWindow() {
    this.window.openLinkIn(
      this.linkURL,
      "window",
      this._openLinkInParameters({ private: true })
    );
  }'

And thanks for the clear instructions on how to turn on the command line btw, I did need to enable that. :)

It is possible that Firefox uses old Tab Mix version from cache

Open Firefox
Remove Tab Mix Plus
Close Firefox
Open Firefox again
Install Tab Mix Plus version 1.2.2

Okay, I did the uninstall/reinstall sequence, and that does seem to have fixed the problem. Just one of those weird things I guess, but thanks!
