Details

With non-native context menus, middle-clicking the Reload item in the content area context menu opens the current page in a new tab.
With native context menus, it reloads the current tab.

Ignoring the middle button conforms with macOS platform expectations but is a user-facing regression and causes test failures. In the interest of getting tests green with minimum friction, I think we should support middle clicking for now, and then re-evaluate this behavior again in the future.

This was fixed by bug 1704883.
