Yey! This is a fun one, I fixed it in Cliqz (a browser based on Firefox) a while ago: https://github.com/cliqz-oss/browser-f/pull/912#issue-195908302 https://github.com/cliqz-oss/browser-f/pull/912#issue-195908... If you are wondering why this discrepancy in behavior between platforms: This default behavior was initially changed to prevent a 16-years old bug in SeaMonkey, which was already fixed in Firefox since 2007. See following issues for more details: * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190615 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190615 * https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611162 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=611162 Inertia I guess... happy to see this fixed upstream!

Great work! Nice with the background to the annoyance.

  Just to avoid any confusion, I have nothing to do with the change of behavior in Firefox 75. And the « fix » was only about changing the default behavior with new prefs values (the real fix was done in Firefox around 2007 but for some reason the default behavior was never reverted until now).
