Hi, something that is minor, but confusing anyway:

I can raise the click count next to a link by doing “right click”, so that the context menu appears. If I do this a 100 times it looks as if the link would be very popular (possibly even triggering the respective badges).

I can reproduce this her on meta and on [try.discourse.org](http://try.discourse.org) and on [forum.fairphone.com](http://forum.fairphone.com).

What do you think, is this intended behaviour?

PS.: Browser: Firefox 51.0.1, Synaptics Touchpad V7.2

Not a bug, only affects your local browser. Try refreshing the page.

Yeah, that resets the counter! 👍 Why does it count locally?
