Steps to reproduce:

Shift-click a label that either surrounds a checkbox or has its 'for' attribute set to a checkbox.


Actual results:

The label text is highlighted, but the checkbox isn't toggled, and no onclick event is fired for the checkbox.

Still occurs with current version (FF 62.0.3)
tested with Win10 x64

You can test it with the MDN example: https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/HTML/Element/label

click label with alt or shift or ctrl. Checkbox event not fired

On other browsers (Chrome, Safari) it will works. 
The spec says: When a <label> is clicked or tapped and it is associated with a form control, the resulting click event is also raised for the associated control.
