[Affected versions]:

• Firefox Beta 95.0b2 - Build ID: 20211102190739

[Affected Platforms]:

• Windows 10 x64
• macOS 11.6
• Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon

[Prerequisites]:

• Have a Firefox profile with the reader.pocket.ctaVersion pref set to cta-only in the "about:config" page.
• You are not logged in to Pocket.

[Steps to reproduce]:

1. Open the browser with the profile from prerequisites.
2. Navigate to any website that allows "Reader view" (e.g. https://www.wikipedia.org/).
3. Click the "Toggle reader view" button from the right part of the "Address Bar".
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "Sign up - it's free" button from the Pocket modal.
5. Observe the behavior.

[Expected result]:

• The Pocket login page should be opened in a new tab.

[Actual result]:

• You are redirected to the Pocket login page in the same tab.

[Notes]:

• We should consider opening the Pocket login page in a separate tab because it might not be a good experience for the users to be redirected from the page they want to read to another one.
• Attached a screen recording of the issue.
