Is there a log for opened/closed tabs (that is not the History)? [Mysterious tabs randomly appearing and disappearing without leaving a History entry]

MateusAuri

Once in a while, my firefox has been randomly getting a mysterious tab appear and immediately disappear, leaving me no time to check what it was. There isn't a clear pattern to what triggers it or when does it happen... I think it happens like once or twice per day?

I assume it's just some buggy extension updating itself in the background or something like that, but I wanted to troubleshoot this issue just to be sure.

I wanted to check a log with details about previously opened/closed tabs, but these mysterious tabs leave no entries in the History at all. I searched around and couldn't find anything that helps me further. Is there anything like that I could check?

I'm not really sure if Troubleshoot Mode prevents this problem or not, since I haven't found a way to reliably reproduce it.

(I'm on 64-bit Windows, last observed this behavior on 142.0.1, but I updated to 143.0 just as I was about to post this)

ah, some info that I forgot to add:

these tabs open and close by themselves in the background and from what I can see in the splitsecond they're open, they seem to be titled with some hexadecimal codes inbetween brackets, although I can't be 100% certain

a few minutes after experiencing the issue, my recently updated extensions menu only lists uBlock Origin and my language packs
