(Keywords: polish)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build ID: 20160728203720

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a page with many links
2. Open loads of tabs by middle-clicking
3. Go to one of the tabs already loaded
4. Middle-click any link, and quickly select another tab



Actual results:

The link opens on the right of the newly selected tab, not the tab the link was clicked in.


Expected results:

The link should have opened on the right of the the tab the link was clicked in.

This happens only if the browser cannot open the new tab instantly.

This bug is _not_ reported using the profile that has e10s activated. The computer, browser version and (most) add-ons, however, are the same.

The profile in question has the booleans "browser.tabs.remote.force-enable" and "browser.tabs.remote.autostart" set as "true".
