Like in SM
I know that they are 2 separated application but it should be very nice...
maybe by modifying an option in TB and FF.
Reproducible: Always
Expected Results:
open middle-clicked links in a new tab if the browser is tab compatible

This should be more powerful for new user to who we try to convert to tab use :
the same way in all mozilla app for doing something.

Reporter,
This can be done by doing the following in Firefox:
Click Tools
Click Options
Click the "Tabs" option
Click "Force links that open new windows to open in:"
Click "a new Tab"
This should solve your problem. Please mark the bug resolved - invalid.
Regards

I don't think this is invalid. One might want to have a new window opened by
default in Firefox, but a new tab, when middle-clicking from TB. Or (like me)
leave Firefox unfocused when middle-clicking in TB, but focus it when calling
from other applications or on left-click.
The point of this bug was either about better integration between the two apps
or the consistence. Either way, it's a duplicate. See bug 270434 and bug 273058.
