1566644 - Ctrl-shift-clicking a link does not open a link in a new tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1525338

(Testing :: geckodriver, defect)

Description

[Eric Rahm [:erahm]]

Attachment: repro.py

As a cross-browser solution for opening a set of URLs in new tabs ATSY uses a technique of emulating a ctrl-shift-click of the link. This works in Chrome, but no longer works in Firefox with the latest geckodriver.

STR:

1. Install geckodriver and Firefox 68
2. Run the attached repro.py script

curl -L https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases/download/v0.24.0/geckodriver-v0.24.0-linux64.tar.gz | tar xzf -
mozdownload -v latest && mozinstall firefox*
PATH=$PATH:. python repro.py
