Firefox popup blocker blocks link opening

[osdiab]

When I use f to select a link on bing.com, the links open in a new tab. This causes the popup blocker to block the tab from opening, which is not a problem if I click.

Firefox Nightly version 57.0a1 Thanks!

Sounds like this is the culprit: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1356309

Indeed: I opened it to try and get this fixed.

It's been duped into issue 1348213, which I can't see going anywhere productive, and is mostly not relevant to the issue. I'll request for it to be separated out, or -- failing that -- I'll open another issue that mentions the popup-blocker more explicitly; hopefully it won't get binned there again.

Is there a way to bypass this?
Can I disable popup blocker?

[mrmr1993]

I've submitted PR #2602, which adds a workaround for this issue.

Let's just hope it gets merged soon. :D
Any way you can share your XPI until then?

[mrmr1993]

Here you go. It needs to be renamed from .zip to .xpi (GitHub wouldn't let me upload an XPI to a comment), but otherwise that's what I'm running.

This is fixed in the current release.
