Add-On does not activate in pop-up window for self-contained logon at my.yahoo.com

Migrated from Issue #2:

The Yahoo pop-up login dialog generated via the my.yahoo.com sign-in has the same problem. However if the URL of the pop-up is pasted into the Firefox URL address bar the URL-in-Title works fine.

Replication visit: https://my.yahoo.com/ and click "Sign In" at top right.

Diagnosis

Note that the URL bar is grayed out. It does not seem to load the add-on at all. The event is not attached. When running a debug with dev tools no breakpoints are triggered when the pop-up window is loaded. Perhaps Firefox treats restricted/locked down windows differently and they are not accessible by the normal tabs api.

Note, that if you visit https://login.yahoo.com/ in a regular tab/window then the add-on is activated. Some further research will be done.

Confirmed that the pageshow event in main.js is not triggered on this pop up window so the content script is never attached.

Repo Maintenance I am closing tickets for specific sites that are more than three years old, as those sites are likely different now and the problems may no longer exist. If this is still an issue with a modern browser version and the current version of the add on, please response and we can reopen the ticket.
