Autoclick not working on Firefox 39

The following script opens links with a mouse hover of 1.5 seconds. It has worked until recently with Firefox. I don't know if a FF update broke it or not. I have carpal tunnel and this script has been a great help in reducing the number of clicks and subsequently the degree of wrist pain. Could someone look at it and get it working or point me to a mod of Firefox that will allow the script?

// ChangeLog
// 2005-07-08 - 0.2 - MAP - fixed bug opening links that contain images
//                          filtered out non-followable javascript: links
// 2005-07-08 - 0.1 - MAP - initial release
//

All GM_ prefixed functions should be explicitly granted in the metablock since over a year in Greasemonkey, so the script should have stopped working long time ago.

Add // @grant GM_openInTab on a new line before // ==/UserScript==
