I have CTRL click set in my preferences to open links in a new tab. However,
CTRL clicking on a link in an email message opens one tab then fails to open any
more after that.
On further investigation, it looks like CTRL click doesn't work at all for any
links in an email message. RIGHT clicking and selecting "Open in new tab" works
just fine. I have closed and restarted several times to verify.
I see this too -- 1.7.5, Win2K.  Working fine with same profile in 1.8a6-1217.

I can confirm that the noted error happens on Linux on the latest 1.7.x branch,
but works fine on the latest trunk: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:1.8a6) Gecko/20041228.

Note the 1.7.x version gives the following javascipt error:

JavaScript error:
chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaClick.js line 153: XPCNativeWrapper is
not defined

contentAreaClick.js was touched on the branch on 18/10/2004 by bug 249332 which
I can't access - security bug, but the changes introduced the XPCNativeWrapper.

It also was touched on 22/10/2004 by bug 265176 which I believe is a security
bug as well, but I don't think the changes would have caused this bug.

Also changing OS to all as that what this bug affects.

Yep, this bug looks the same as bug 267378, therefore marking duplicate.

BTW: for anyone interested that bug has a patch in the review process for fixing
it as well.
