Mozilla's Firefox rendering team engaged us to search for incompatibilities between browsers and the HTML Navigation specification. We uncovered numerous bugs, including a rare one that affected all browsers.

Finding & Fixing Browser Compatibility Bugs
Impact
Through our research we uncovered numerous spec bugs and incompatibilities. In addition we found a rare case where all major implementations agreed on incorrect behavior of the target
property of Anchor elements. We filed bugs on each browser and submitted new tests web-platform-tests documenting the behavior. Each of the browsers corrected the behavior, and the web platform is more predictable as a result.
