Reproduced on the latest versions of Firefox Nightly 89.0a1 (2021-03-24), beta 88.0b2 and release 87.0 and can reproduce this in Firefox 70.0 so it's not a recent regression. However I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour or not.
Setting flags and a Severity of S4 for visibility and in order to get the dev team involved and get a more in-depth insight of this issue.

Ever confirmed: true

According to Bug 260611, I think it only works with mouse event(middle-click or ctrl+left-click) and does not support keyboard.

Sounds like dupe of Bug 1398990
