Well, if autism is really a spectrum I’m definitely in the so-called “normal” range, but definitely pretty close to the edge, like most code-jockeys. Definitely.
Really, though, my life does not revolve around Discourse, and I use hundreds if not thousands of websites routinely in the course of my work, and consequently I am not likely to stop middle-clicking uselessly on BB. I’ve done it a half-dozen times today, because this is the only site I’ve ever used that behaves this way. Which, frankly, makes the idea that there’s really no other way to do click-tracking without resorting to URL shorteners seem a bit unlikely, you know?
But Jeebus, I really don’t care that much. It’s just a bug report! If the Discourse team wants to send it upstream to Firefox they can, or they can just ignore it as WONTFIX. It’ll make me less likely to visit BB if Firefox isn’t well supported, but again who cares? BB has tens of thousands of viewers, one less won’t matter (especially since I run Adblock and NoScript and SDC and never see any advertising anyway).
