Steps to reproduce:

• create a new Firefox profile and open in troubleshooting mode
• open any url to make it an entry in the history, close it
• open another url
• open the history menu (ctrl+shift+h)
• ctrl+click on the now-closed history entry to open it in a new tab

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Tabbed Browser' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

We could reproduce this bug, ctrl/cmd double click is not handled appropriately in the Library and changes behavior depending on how many entries are selected.

We should try experimenting with different behaviours of double-click, and see if we can make click behaviour separate to double-click behaviour.
