I'm on Firefox 59.0.1.
Some adult image sites have a feature where clicking a link would open a new tab while closing the parent tab, i.e. the tab on which I clicked the link.
I have the "Don't touch my tabs" extension installed, which does not stop this behaviour.
I've tried blocking scripts on the image sites, which simply breaks the entire site.
Is there an in-browser way to prevent this behaviour?
1Replacing the current tab is the default behavior. I believe there is a setting to make "open in new tab" the default. You can also right-click on the link and select the "open in new tab" option. – fixer1234 – 2018-03-17T02:41:40.207
Just ctrl click new link... just do it – DarkCygnus – 2018-03-17T07:24:12.600
Essentially, the advertising tab takes over the parent tab. You already received some great advice from @fixer1234: if you right-click the hyperlink and select Open Link in New Tab, it will open your desired tab and the advertising tab separately while leaving your original tab intact. – Run5k – 2018-03-17T18:13:36.620
