Firefox won't open links in new tabs anymore in 118.2.0 version, and I really need to open every link in a new tab as my phone is so slow that pressing the back button and waiting for the page to load again takes a long time, instead of just navigating instantly through the tabs.

This started happening about 3-4 days ago, and I'm not sure if it's intended feature or a bug. Is there any workaround, other than using the clunky method of holding down the link, pressing open in new tab and then pressing switch to new tab? As this is obviously very tedious.
