Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:73.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/73.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Inspect a page with, say, a hyperlink on it in Responsive Design Mode
  2. Ensure touch simulation is enabled
  3. Use the cursor to pick an element from the page to inspect
  4. Click the hyperlink, in order to inspect it

Actual results:

Attempting to use the cursor to select the hyperlink for inspection activates it

Expected results:

When touch simulation is turned off, using the cursor to inspect an element doesn't activate its default behaviors: links aren't followed, buttons aren't pressed, etc.

This behavior should probably be matched even with touch simulation enabled.
