From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523 BuildID: 2002052309 If I have an email that contains a link to a web page, and I have enabled "middle click opens link in new tab" enabled in Prefs, then middle clicking on the link in the mail window does nothing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable "middle click opens in new tab" in prefs. 2. Receive email containing link to web page. 3. Middle click on link. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Either a) a new Browser window opens with the link in it, or b) a new tab opens in the current browswer window. If no current browser window is open, then a new browser is opened. I would conjecture that the open in new tab code is confused by the fact that it is in a mail/news window, and therefor cannot create a tab.
