Details

Steps to reproduce: 1. Hold down the Insert key. 2. Click on a Link. Result: The page is opened in multiple new tabs. The longer you hold down the Insert key, the more tabs are opened. Expected Result: Just open the page in the currently active tab. This may well be a bug in the fix for bug 185270.
Summary: Holding down Inset key and then clicking a link leads to the page opened multiple tabs → Holding down Insert key and then clicking a link leads to the page opened multiple tabs
This bug happens because insert is a shortcut for "open focused link in new tab", not a modifier. This might be a dup of bug 71074.
I agree. This is a dupe of bug 71074 (see also bug 205462). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 71074 ***
