Firefox: Ctrl/Cmd+Click opens Wikiwand in a new tab AND current tab
Using WikiWand in Firefox on an MacBook, if I cmd-click to open an Wikipedia link in a new tab, WikiWand does this but ALSO opens the link in the current tab half a second later
We’ve just released a new version of our Firefox extension that solves the Ctrl+Click bug.
Please remove your existing Wikiwand addon from Firefox and install the latest version here:

This still happens for me on Firefox 43.0 and WikiWand 3.1.1 on both my work and home computers -- so both Windows and OS X.

I have version 3.1.1 from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/wikiwand-wikipedia-modernized/?src=userprofile
The error still exists in Firefox v 41.0.2

I had Wikiwand 3.4 installed, so I wanted to uninstall it and re-install the latest version. After uninstalling it and restarting Firefox, I re-installed by opening a private browsing window and going go wikiwand.com. The version now installed is 3.3. What happened to 3.4?
Is there an URL I can use to install the latest version?

That is really strange.
Daniel & LJ - could you please tell me:
1. The version of the extension (in about:addons)
2. Which Firefox version do you use?
3. What type of computer / operating system are you using? -
Daniel Serodio commented
Agree with LJ, still broken

LJ commented
Unfortunately, the provided addon from wikiwand.com does also load the CMD+clicked page again in its source window.
So: path to addon fixed, but the fixed bug of this thread is broken again.

Thanks! Sorry I didn't realise it was a bug, as there are some websites that intentionally seem to enforce a similar kind of behaviour.
Thanks for your help, much appreciated.
