User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:137.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/137.0

Steps to reproduce:

  • Set Firefox to clear all data upon close except open tabs (not sure this is necessary, just my setup)
  • Quit Firefox via the menu
  • Open Firefox again
  • Click any link on the homepage/search for something

Actual results:

The previously opened tab gets overwritten with the pageload instead of it opening a new tab. Resulting in State loss if the user does not notice it (I lost a tab to this bug repeatedly).

Expected results:

The search/link should have opened in a new tab.
