While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated.
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I get the same results in Chrome and Firefox: if you open that URL in a background tab it waits for you to switch to it, so it looks like something Chase is doing on purpose.
When it does render, the url is updated to https://secure.chase.com/web/auth/dashboard#/dashboard/overview
Chase appears to use the "hash" part of the URL as commands. If you try to load that full URL with the hash part then it does seem to render in a background tab just fine in Chrome and Firefox.
Why are you trying to bypass a security feature of your bank? Because that's obviously what this is, so that nothing shady can happen in the background without your knowledge. This post seems pretty suspicious to me.
Maybe your interests are completely innocent, but this kind of bypass can and likely has been used nefariously.

Not sure this is related but since I started using CanvasBlocker addon, they make me use MFA every time with 8 digit pin and pw again. It’s as if part of their auth process is digital fingerprinting. Caveat: I’m not a hacker or expert (in case it wasn’t obvious). Why not just wait for page load? Shpilkes?
@pluralistic@mamot.fr Try this extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-visible/
@c01x@infosec.exchange Thanks!
@pluralistic@mamot.fr is this background tab throttling? Sounds like that’s not what you tried disabling. This website seems semi decent at offering help: https://www.itechtics.com/disable-tab-throttling/#disable-sleeping-tabs-in-google-chrome
