URL: https://www.stuff.co.nz

Browser / Version: Firefox 73.0
Operating System: Windows 10
Tested Another Browser: Yes Edge

Problem type: Something else
Description: opens new tab, but with focus
Steps to Reproduce:
Most if not all links at stuff.co.nz (main New Zealand news webiste) do not honour opening new tabs without focus ().
This works correctly in Edge, Chrome and Vivaldi.

In Firefox, links on stuff.co.nz opens pages WITH focus.

Workaround: right-click on links and go "Open link in new tab".

Whilst I'm reasonably sure the bug is poor html coding - it would be nice if Firefox "allowed" this to work - as it does in other main browsers.
