User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20170905220108

Steps to reproduce:

-> open duckduckgo.com
-> press ctrl + shift + e (Linux & Windows) to open the network tab in developer tools 
-> type firefox
-> press first link in duckduckgo - The network tab should visualise the loading of the page now.
-> Click on the first entry in the network tab which should be the loaded html page (Make sure All is selected in the menu above, so that you can see it)
-> Click on the first tab in the menu that opened up on the right
-> Search for "Referer: https://duckduckgo.com" and click it.

Added an image for clarification.


Actual results:

The page opened in the network tab.


Expected results:

The page should have opened in the actual browser tab instead and not in the developertools.

I'm able to reproduce the issue, I tracked it down to this line :

I'll investigate further.

This should be already fixed in bug 1397169
