Comment (by pospeselr):

 So the noscript.fixLinks will disable the custom onclick handler (which is
 what does the above described behaviour) but also disables a custom
 onchange handler (for select and option elements).

 However, for Tor Browser that's a good thing, as it has a similar feature
 whereby it will automatically try to navigate to a selected option if it
 looks like a URL (the threshold for 'looks like a URL' is even lower
 though: value contains '/' or '.' and does not contain '@').  This URL
 will try to be navigated through the same code-path, so would have the
 same browser internal request gk mentioned.

 Updating TorButton to set turn off the noscript.fixLinks option should
 work, will have a patch up in a bit.
