Opening html content in new tab from bookmarklet (Firefox)
Opening html content in new tab from bookmarklet (Firefox)
I had a few bookmarklets that used a technique like:
javascript:(function()open('data:text/html,'+encodeURIComponent('<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Title</title></head><body><h1>Title</h1>Content</body></html>')))()
This basically opens some text/html content in a new tab/window using a data url.
This technique apparently does not work anymore in Firefox 61.0.1 (haven't tested other versions). Is this a bug or by design?
A particular implementation using a javascript url doesn't appear to work either.
If this is by design, then is there any simple alternative other than opening a new tab and then writing the content afterwards?
Note: I believe this restriction does not apply to plain text content (possibly others).

Partial answer:
javascript:(function()open('javascript:"'+encodeURIComponent('<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Title</title></head><body><h1>Title</h1>Content</body></html>')+'"'))()
The above is a workaround. encodeURIComponent is useful if either double quotes or single quotes need to be escaped (but not both at the same time)
