Description
Describe the bug
In Brave Browser, "Search through your open tabs" allows the user to display tabs including tabs opened via Tor. Hitting the Tor tab in the list of opened tabs doesn't do anything. At least doesn't opened the Tor tab.
To Reproduce
- Hit your "Go to previously-visited tab" keyboard shortcut
- Select a tab opened via Tor
- Hit Enter
Browser and Vimium version
Brave Browser: 1.81.135
Vimium: 2.3

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Brave 1.81.135 with Vimium 2.3 by using the “Go to previously-visited tab” shortcut and selecting a Tor tab. Trace the open-tab search selection and activation flow; done means pressing Enter activates the selected Tor tab as it does for regular tabs.
