User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:80.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/80.0

Steps to reproduce:

Open a tab by clicking on a bookmark in my bookmarks toolbar. After browsing for a short time (sometimes a few seconds is enough) close the tab and immediately click on another bookmark in bookmarks toolbar.

Actual results:

Nothing happens and i have to click again for it to open a bookmark.

Expected results:

Clicking on bookmark should always open it.

It seems that most of the time this happens when i close the last tab and then it shows the blank tab (as i have setup) and the address bar enlarges. I have disabled showing the suggestions in megabar. Addressbar is not covering up bookmarks and i clearly click on the bookmark as it shows animation of a click (gray background).

This started maybe 2-3 weeks ago. Suppose after Firefox update to 79. Or maybe some addon is causing that. Tried to disable Gesturefy as the main suspect. Still happening.

Hi,
Can you please test if the issue occurs to you in safe mode (add-ons disabled). Here is a link that can help you do that:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

Also, can you try this on the latest version of nightly? You can download it from here: https://nightly.mozilla.org/

I will move this over to a component so developers can take a look over it. If is not the correct component please feel free to change it to an appropriate one.

Thanks for the report.

Best regards, Clara.

I was able to reproduce it first day after updating to 80. But not for a few last days. Hopefully this issue is gone for good.

Hi, I'm glad this looks like it is fixed now, I'll tentatively mark this as works for me. If it happens again please feel free to re-open and let us know.

If it should happen again, could you also check the Browser Console for any messages when clicking the items that don't work? It is accessible via the three bar menu -> Web Developer -> Browser Console.

Can we reopen this one? I am again seeing this issue too often. Usually if i restart the browser it would go away for some time. But when it happens it's like every 3-4 time i close a tab and click on a bookmark right away. Just nothing happens.
