Description: Opening links with target _blank opens the page in two windows if done from a firefox android custom tabs tab
Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce

1. Open a page in android custom tab powered by firefox on android(can use this test app to open custom tab https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aAUDehYvDsL3NcPBxqUPYHYn9n4FCJqY/view?usp=sharing)
2. Click on a link in the page that should've opened in new tab
3. Firefox will open two tabs, in total 3 tabs will be there, parent tab, child tab, clone of child tab. Child tab will have window.opener reference. Clone tab wont. User will be seeing the clone tab but not child tab. This breaks functionality that relies on having a window.opener reference

The opened tabs will be visible on developer tools

The child tab becomes an orphan, not visible in the custom tab or browser, disappears only when firefox app is force closed
