Steps to reproduce:

When I'm on a regular tab and I try to ctrl+click the Firefox View tab, only the Firefox View tab gets highlighted - fair enough.

However, if I'm on the Firefox View tab, I can ctrl+click other tabs to highlight them, leading to inconsistent behaviour.

Further, in the latter scenario running (await browser.tabs.query({ highlighted: true })).map(tab => tab.title) will not show Firefox View to be among highlighted tabs, despite being the active tab.

Actual results:

already described

Expected results:

• Either allow to ctrl+click multi-highlight Firefox View tab when the active tab is not Firefox View or forbid to ctrl+click multi-highlight when Firefox View is the active tab
• If Firefox View is allowed to be multi-highlighted, its highlighted property should be true.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Firefox View' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Setting this as an enhancement, thank you for reporting!

Hi, the Firefox view tab is a hidden tab, and it was excluded from tab multi-selection for that reason in bug 1790593 (although there's a bug with that implementation, see bug 1792017).

I spoke with Ray and will mark this as won't fix, for the reason mentioned above.
