User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:66.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/66.0
Steps to reproduce:
On https://gis.swcb.gov.tw/ zoom the map. Now right click and see "View Image".
Actual results:
This opens a "blob" URL. And when we want to go back,
the entire https://gis.swcb.gov.tw/ reloads losing our zoom level and everything else we perhaps selected.
Expected results:
Add the standard "View image in new tab".

Hi,
This looks like an enhancement. I'm going to set a component so developers can take a look at it.
If this is not the right component, please feel free to move it to a more appropriate one.
Thank you for your report.

You can hold the Ctrl key to open the image in a new tab, but perhaps we should do that by default.
So apparently this was implemented in 88 beta. As you can see e.g. in the comment at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1327631#answer-1401564 this is actually making it worse for some people (me included).
Just like the user in that comment already stated, previously you could middle-click for a new tab and left-click for the same tab. With the new change, this is no longer possible - you ALWAYS get a new tab even if you know that you don't need to keep the current page open.
Please consider making this configurable (about:config at least) or revert back to the old behavior where the USER could pick the behavior the same way they already do it for links on websites (which is very intuitive - middle mouse button = new tab).
