Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Install Firefox Developer and simply go a a YouTube video and make it full-screen.
  2. Now toggle AltTab. Notice that (current) window is missing. Means you can't alt-tab back to it again either. If I alt-tab away my only way to get back to the window is to find it in Mission Control.

I think it's a buggy behaviour in Firefox Developer, and normal Firefox doesn't do the same thing, but maybe other apps could produce the same scenario so it's worth finding a way to fix it.

Hey @mindfulsource, thanks for sharing this issue!

I'm pretty sure I know what the issue is already. I made a fix for Firefox previously in #360. That fix whitelists Firefox bundleIdentifier and allows its fullscreen windows to show up. Firefox Developer has a different bundleIdentifier: org.mozilla.firefoxdeveloperedition.

I can whitelist this app too. These workarounds are a pain. I opened #456 to discuss a better way to handle things, but it needs a breakthrough idea. Nobody has found a better approach that the current one so far, unfortunately.

It's a messy problem. Too permissive, and garbage windows start showing up (#386); too restrictive, and actual windows don't show up, like here.

I made a fix. It will ship in the next release. If you want to help with the big picture, please look into #456

chore(release): 6.0.0 [skip ci]
aaa69c2 
# [6.0.0](v5.3.0...v6.0.0) (2020-08-27)

### Bug Fixes

* alt-tab own windows were not shown in alt-tab (closes [#555](#555)) ([8bcbc04](8bcbc04))
* clicking the main window would steal focus ([de02e5b](de02e5b))
* display firefox develop edition fullscreen windows (closes [#558](#558)) ([3250d37](3250d37))
* guarantee alt-tab window is always up-to-date on display ([be4c5f1](be4c5f1))
* ignore zombie processes ([50c8c82](50c8c82))
* moving some of the preferences sliders was very laggy ([a552c4c](a552c4c))
* shortcuts stop working if active app is quit (closes [#557](#557)) ([023561d](023561d))

### Features

* display quickly even with many open windows (closes [#171](#171)) ([da16a0b](da16a0b))
* improve the 3 colored buttons when hovering (closes [#516](#516)) ([3ddedff](3ddedff))
* update chinese localization ([e150a9a](e150a9a))

### Performance Improvements

* alt-tab appears quicker when summoned ([c2bb896](c2bb896))
* main window appears (a few frames) faster on trigger ([2bc09e6](2bc09e6))

### BREAKING CHANGES

* the window thumbnails are now updated *after* the UI is shown. AltTab will first display its window, with the first 3 thumbnails up-to-date, then asynchronously update the rest of the thumbnails one-by-one. This improves the experience of users with lots of windows open.
