Gecko would not implement the click() method on other elements that might be expected to respond to mouse clicks, such as links (<a> elements), nor would it necessarily fire the click event of other elements.

Does it work if you append this element to the body?

  • document.body.appendChild(x);

This works for me in the Web Console:

var x = document.createElement("a");
x.href = 'https://www.google.com';
document.body.appendChild(x);
x.click();
