Description
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?

Done means capitalized hints open links in a new tab without changing the expected behavior for lowercase hints.
