`f` followed by capitalized link hint letters doesn't open new tab

Describe the bug

f command followed by capitalized letters as link hint is supposed to open the link in new tab. It behaves correctly on Vimium 2.1.2 in Firefox 116.0.3 under Linux.

Now I switched to LibreWolf 116.0.2, I installed the same Vimium 2.1.2 from Firefox extension catalog. I backed up the Vimium configuration from Firefox and restored in LibreWolf. But in LibreWolf, f command behaves differently. After f command, capitalized link hint letter opens in the same tab, just as small letters. I couldn't find a option for this behavior.

How can I get more insight of this issue? How can I see some logs?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open any website with link in LibreWolf.
  2. Press f to follow link hints.
  3. Type a link hint with capital letters.

Expected behavior:

Link is opened in a new tab.

Actual behavior:

Link is opened in the same tab.

Browser and Vimium version

LibreWolf 116.0.2 and Vimium 2.1.2.

It's a security feature. You need to disable privacy.resistFingerprinting on about:config: image

Thanks for the reply! I don't follow how resistFingerprinting could cause this behavior. Could please elaborate a bit?
