Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0
Steps to reproduce:
Installed Feedly Notifier add-on and logged in with my feedly.com account.
Actual results:
This add-on shows a toolbar icon with a badge number of unread articles. When i press on an article in its tooltip window it opens a new tab, even if a blank tab is already opened (not reusing a blank tab).
Expected results:
It should reuse a blank tab. Some add-ons work ok though (like Distill Web Monitor). So maybe add-on should use some other method of opening an URL. But this issue also happens when opening a few bookmarks at once or when a link is opened from an external application (like a mail client). So something is also wrong in Firefox.

Kind of. But we already have separate tickets for bookmarks and external apps. Unless all of them are combined. I don't want one condition (add-on based in this case) to be missed.

I was able to reproduce the mentioned behavior on Windows 10 using the latest Nightly and Firefox release build.

"add-on based" isn't really a condition as far as the relevant Firefox code is concerned.
