[Firefox] Following link hints in a new tab does not work

[v1kn]

In Vimium for Firefox, following link hints in a new tab (F) does not work. However, following hints in current tab (f) works as expected.

Xubuntu 17.04
Firefox 55.02
Vimium 1.59.2

This is probably the popup blocker: #2613, #2603, #2602.

(Closing.)

Any workaround about it? It is quite annoying.

You could disable the pop-up blocker and it will work properly. Naturally this isn't recommended, and the next version of Vimium should fix this for most cases.

Ah, then I'll eagerly wait for the next version.
