Ok, so smaug pointed out to me that for calling click() firefox generally
doesn't actually activate most elements, which at least for <a>.click() appears
to be the case. (though <input type=file>.click() does bring up a file picker,
but I think that's an exception).

The thing that I care most about is that the spec doesn't say that dispatching
an event using the EventTarget interface should run what is usually that events
default action. But if that's not what the spec says then I'm fine.
