Battle Calc Problems (Firefox)

This seems to be browser specific and probibly caused by an update but see if anyone else is having this issue and a solution.

Browser: Firefox Quantum 59.0.2 (64-bit)

Problem:

(tab1) Go to galaxy screen
(tab1) AU planet
(tab1) Add to bcalc > New
(tab2) Save bcalc - everything is fine, can add as many fleets as i like from tab1...

(tab1) right click on galaxy and open in new tab
(tab3) click on A to scan a planet
(tab3) click on Add to bcalc > Last active bcalc.... nothing, no focus on last active bcalc.

now, i expect people to say "don't open in a new tab, just use one tab" but this is the same if someone gives you a scan link that opens in a new tab, it wont focus on last active bcalc.... you can get it to work if you take the url and put it in the original tab.

So it seems that a bcalc created in Firefox is tied to a parent tab, if you don't have that parent tab then you cant add to last active bcalc.

Reasons you may not have that parent tab may be restarted browser (calc from night before), gotten the bcalc from someone else (defense team).

is it just me?? :P

Re: Battle Calc Problems (Firefox)

Support replied
bcalcs "add to last" is a cookie, it stores the last rn or id from the bcalc. it expires after like 10 min (i think). It has no "link" to the parent tab of the game in any way, it's all to the bcalc. The bcalc looks for any ship/fleet data set for it every 2 sec, so that might be failing for you too, like the browser blocking it because it's a constant rechecking

-----

So any help on resolving this?

Anyone else see the same issue with firefox?

Re: Battle Calc Problems (Firefox)

I have the same issue. Using Firefox, I can't use the 'add to last calc' links as it doesn't do anything.

From the link above, it looks like it's fixed in Firefox nightly. So yes, but it may take a while to filter through.

Doubtful. It's a browser issue, so it would make sense to be browser specific. No-one seems to have reported it on Chrome.

I think its a issue with windows firefox actualy.
Firefox for linux seems to work fine, atleast for me.
