Firefox 57.0; Manjaro Linux; XFCE;

Ctrl+Left mouse click should open the link in new Tab, but it works very unstable. Sometimes it works as intended, sometimes opens the link in the same tab. This behavior is random and I was not able to get some dependence.

Any ideas about how to fix it, or at least where to dig further are welcome.

Thanks.

Some websites use Javascript to control navigation so Ctrl+click may not work as expected. We are not seeing this issue anywhere else(for example in this site) so it might not be a bug.
