Rightclick open new tab closes the current one sometimes
So since one of the Firefox Updates (not sure wich one) I have the Problem that some website close the current tab I am browsing when I right click and select "open link in a new tab". I looked at other threads about this problem and the suggested solutions (checking and changing the dom.ipc.processCount aswell as the browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2) but nothing helped and it still closes the current tab when I try to open a link in a new tab.

Are this normal links or are this JavaScript (onclick) links?
JavaScript links may behave differently and you may not be able to open such a link that way (only a left-click works properly).
You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.

Not sure how I can see if it is a "normal" or "javascript" link if I inspect the element but I definitly know that I was able to open these links by rightclicking and selecting "open Link in new tab" without closing the current tag before one of the Updates.
Edit: its a <a class="name" href=""></a> Link if that answears it.

Links that have a JavaScript onclick handler attached show a gray 'ev' button appended to the link when you inspect the link in the Inspector.

No, definitly no gray ev button appended to the link.
Does this also happen if you middle-click the link with the mouse scroll wheel?

Yes same thing, new tab opens and directly closes the current one im browsing.
Hi there, Sorry to hear that the right click option to open a link in a new tab is not always happening. For my reference. SHIFT + Click opens a link in a new window Right Click > Open link in new tab
Open Link in new Window is the second option in that menu, could it be happening when clicking really quickly? I do that when I try to type to fast.
There is a warning that the tab should be in focus to work correctly: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox-t...
However, I think you are already an expert in this question, so apologies for the side track. I would get an ad blocker. Check out addons.mozilla.com for one compatible with Firefox 57.

Definitly not clicking the "new Window option" but even that closes the current window if there is just one tab/or closes the current tab if there are mutible open tabs on some sites which it shouldn't do either. And Adblocker won't change anything, I tried it with and without it (and with several different ones aswell) so that definitly isn't the issue either.
