I didn't have this problem for many years until old add-ons were killed (which probably had their own workaround for this issue). Now i have switched to Firefox Quantum and webextensions and have to deal with this annoyance from 14 years ago. My own bug report has been closed as a duplicate of this. Though there is a number of similar reports still open. Not sure if this super old report with outdated comments and patches should be kept alive and untouched for another 14 years (as it seems). The thing is that in some cases Firefox reuses the blank tab and in some not. So this bug report is too broad and is not representing the current state. E.g.
Sometimes add-ons can reuse last blank tab, sometimes don't https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1539927
It reuses blank tab when opening a bookmark, but not when opening a few at once https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1498093
It is not reusing a blank tab when opening links from external application https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1502836

The last needinfo from me was triggered in error by recent activity on the bug. I'm clearing the needinfo since this is a very old bug and I don't know if it's still relevant.
