RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1850828

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/117.0

Steps to reproduce:

Clicking a link anywhere outside Firefox when the browser is not already open.

Actual results:

The browser opens, to the landing page. It does not load the link. Clicking a second time opens the link, albeit in a new tab. This appears to be new, and worsened, behavior relative to a long-running issue filed under bug 1600153 (in which links always opened in a second tab).

Expected results:

The browser should have opened and loaded the link in the main tab (without opening a second tab), on the first attempt.

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.
