Hello,

I’ve managed to reproduce the issue on the latest Nightly (76.0a1/20200323092419), Beta (75.0b7/20200322132212), Release (74.0/20200309095159) and ESR (68.6.0esr/20200305175243) under Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Regarding the STR of this issue, after some investigations, it appears the bug happens only when middle clicking the name of the add-on from the add-on card, and nowhere else on the card. This is also the case for themes and plugins. Furthermore, the issue occurs for any add-on, theme or plugin.

I have also performed a regression range on the issue and narrowed it down to this:

For further details, please see the attached screenshots depicting the areas which must be middle clicked in order to reproduce the bug and the effects of the bug (the unrecognized page opened when middle clicking).

Mark, is this possibly a regression from Bug 1567600?

[Mark Striemer [:mstriemer]]

Yeah, it is. We make a few things links for accessibility reasons but they're using internal URLs that aren't actually valid. We can probably prevent default for the middle click case, but if you open in new tab from the context menu I don't think there'd be much we can do. Maybe there's something else we should do instead of exposing our internal "URL".

Because this bug's Severity has not been changed from the default since it was filed, and it's Priority is P3 (Backlog,) indicating it has been triaged, the bug's Severity is being updated to S3 (normal.)
