in 42.0a2 (2015-08-18) - When I'm on yahoo search results, both cmd-clicking a link or using context menu to open link in a new tab fail. Both approaches work from other websites, such as bugzilla.

A new tab is opened, but it is completely empty. Neither the desired page, nor the "new tab" content.

Search results URL was:
 https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=%22blocked+access+to+SSH+keys+created+by+some+third-party+applications%22&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-003

I've attached the page as I received it.
