There was a report about this bug on Matrix as well that was reproducible consistently on certain websites, whereas I ran into it without STR.

Offline it was shared that this is a duplicate of https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/24563. Leaving this open for now since there are useful profiles and videos on it which someone might want to move to the other issue first.

From the community member on Matrix:

Interesting fact, today I get a slightly different behavior: the new tabs are still bugged, but they act as connected tabs, if I open a new website on one, all other tabs opened together with that one shows the same website. Before, like in my video, the new tabs only showed whatever was on screen on the previous tab. Still happens only on duckduckgo when I open an image. And yes, it opens more than 1 tab. Like 3 or 4 together. Which act as a single tab but now they "work", they open a website.
