In Firefox version 53 on 2017-04-19 Note: Starting in Firefox 68, the auxclick event is used to trigger the new tab on middle-click action; previously, this had been done with the click event. Apps can prevent middle-click from opening new tabs (or middle-click to paste, if that feature is enabled) by intercepting auxclick on links, and auxclick event handlers can now open popups without triggering the popup blocker.
