I cannot reproduce this issue with josm in unstable, so I cannot fix it
either.
https://josm.openstreetmap.de/josmticket?pdata_stored=fd35077d851c42db0b701b4a
is loaded in a new tab of the already running firefox-esr process just fine.

Since bugreports for the JOSM package should be filed in the Debian BTS,
removing the menu option may be an appropriate solution. Ideally it
should use the BTS instead of josm.openstreetmap.de as it does for the
exception handler too.

How can I reproduce your issue?
Is firefox already running, and is it the -esr variant or not?
Is firefox set as the default browser in the alternatives system and in
your desktop environment?

Kind Regards,

Bas
