Details

I have nightly 30.0a1 running on windows 8.1 (64 bit)
when I have e10 enabled and I go to a website with links right clicking them and selecting "open in new tab" does not work.
Steps to reproduce:
open nightly
go to about:config (if you have not done this already) and search browser.tabs.remote and tick it to "true"
restart nightly
click file (menu bar)and click "new e10 window"
then in the new windows go to site with many links (ex: en.wikipedia.org)
right click a link and click "open in new tab"

expected result:
link opens in new tab

actual result:
link does not open in new tab

also if I may add opening the link in a new window works fine
Confirmed on Windows 8.

Michael, did you mean to assign the bug to yourself?

Gavin, is there a particular way we should tag or otherwise mark up or sort bugs coming in that are related to e10s? I added this as a blocker to the meta/tracking bug which is assigned to you, so I thought I'd ask.  Thanks!

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out!

I think blocking the meta bugs is all that is needed. Note that there is also fxe10s under the e10s bug if it's related to the front-end. I think this falls under there until further investigation proves otherwise.
Blocks: fxe10s
No longer blocks: e10s

I suspect this is a dupe of bug 947895, but let's wait and see.

And yes, fxe10s is the right bug to block.
