Same should be for middle clicking (new tab). Currently middle clicking the Back button just loads the history's address again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Can you be clearer on what is the expected behavior and current behaviour? Middle clicking the back button opens the previous page in a tab for me, as it should.

Yes, but left-clicking on it doesn't open it again (at least most of the times), it simply loads the cached version.

In Back/Forward, the memory cash doesn't work effectively regardless of the middle click. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 38486 ***

This is not a dup of bug 38486. When you hit Back, Firefox uses the cache if it can. When you middle-click the Back button, I think Firefox usually checks for a new version of the page. Also, a fix for bug 38486 would not help here.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Note that this code is really quite nasty -- it just loads the URI. That means for POST results it will NOT send the POST data, which can cause some major issues in some cases...

There is a patch that solves this in bug 448546, so maybe this should be marked as a duplicate of bug 448546.
