Description
Disable opening a new tab with long press if already in a new tab
Steps to test this PR
New Tab Page
Browser showing
No UI changes
Note
Low Risk
Small guard in tab menu handling with no auth, data, or API changes; behavior is covered by new unit tests.
Overview
Long-pressing the tabs/new-tab control no longer opens another tab when the user is already on the new tab page (
browserShowingis false). The early return applies only to long-press; normal new-tab menu actions are unchanged.When the browser is showing a site or SERP, long-press still opens a new tab and fires
TAB_MANAGER_NEW_TAB_LONG_PRESSED. Unit tests were split to assert both behaviors.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 6f2a622. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
