Leechblock not working for Firefox widget

[clegergh]

When I use the widget search (perhaps only when the app was killed) blocking websites does not actually work, I can freely browse YouTube.

Update: yes, when the app is killed and a new tab is created, leech block is bypassed

Is this Firefox for Android?

[clegergh]

Yes omg sorry, yeah, Firefox for android.

This looks like a repeat of issue #265. Is "widget" another name for "web app"?

No, it's like with Firefox you made the search bar widget. It sits on your home screen and you can click it and it will instantly make a new tab within Firefox. When a new tab is created and Firefox was not previously opened, it bypasses leechblock. It could be a problem with Firefox itself, but it would be nice if leechblock checked each website every 5 seconds or so to double down on new tabs (maybe as an opt in thing).
