Steps to reproduce:

Go to https://www.homedepot.com/b/Furniture-Bedroom-Furniture-Armoires-Wardrobes/Drawers/N-5yc1vZc7omZ1z177g8/Ntk-tagger/Ntt-wardrobe?NCNI-5

Middle-click on any of the images or title of armoires

Actual results:

The link opened in the same tab

Expected results:

It should have opened in a new tab, as happens on every other web site I have tried. Also, as happens on this site in Chromium.

Has STR: --- → yes
Component: Untriaged → User events and focus handling
Product: Firefox → Core

I am unable to access the www.homedepot.com which shows "Access Denied". Maybe it blocks the traffic from specific countries?

Hi Andrei, is there someone could help to test with the old version of Firefox (maybe 57 or even older) to see if this is a regression or a long existing behavior. Thanks

I have managed to reproduce the described issue (accessed the homedepot website via a USA vpn server) using Firefox 66.0.

This issue seems to be fixed ( in Firefox 69.0a1 and Firefox 68.0b8) by Bug 1379466 - Add override pref to restore legacy non-primary click dispatch on specific domains. r=smaug

Marking this as Dupe.

David feel free to reopen this issue if this faulty behavior occurs on newer versions of Firefox ( Firefox beta 68 or Firefox nightly 69).
