6 years ago Additionally, if the link opens in a new tab, once the user switches back to the current tab, the just clicked link still has the focus, i.e. the user still sees that blue thing around it.
Funnily I have never seen that behaviour in any Firefox/Mozilla site as they all do not seem to adhere to the focus style and just leave it out.
In https://design.firefox.com/photon/components/links.html, the "focus" state shows a blue ring around the link. Is this state to show after the user has clicked the link but before the page has redirected? A link receives "focus" when it is clicked, if it takes some time for the page to redirect to the new page, the link shows the focus state.
