Description

When i open https://www.facebook.com/messages/t/ page and want to skip to 4th chat (on the left) I get two possible buttons, one over another. Problem is that front one doesn't actually lead to that chat but to upload button to temporary chat. I'm not sure whether it's problem with Vimium or Facebooks dumb html but maybe you could just switch which link goes to front in this case?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior at the Facebook messages URL in the issue, then trace Vimium's handling of the overlapping links. No repository file or test is named, so identify the relevant entry point and determine whether the incorrect target is caused by Vimium or Facebook's markup. Done means the fourth chat opens reliably without activating the upload button, with a regression test if the project supports one.
