1.Hold Ctrl (I use left ctrl so I can ctrl click with one hand on my laptop)
2.Click link
3.

Two tabs open rather than one

Could you see if the issue occurs if using Firefox in safe mode:

How about with a new, empty testing profile? (Don't install any addons into it)

I restarted in safe mode, and the bug disappeared.  After leaving safe mode, the bug was gone.
