356024 - ctrl+click (to open link in new tab) doesn't work for MSN live search results

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 151142

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[u88484]

ctrl+click (to open link in new tab) doesn't work for MSN live search results. Right-click on link->open link in new tab does work...not sure about middle clicking since I'm on a laptop.  ctrl+click does work on latest branch and RC2 though.

No errors in the error console

Ctrl-Click works with javascript disabled.  

Middle click is fine either way.

When did this regress?

Bad UA sniffing (bug 334967), I guess. Ctrl+click doesn't work with SeaMonkey (1.8) either.

Opens in a new tab (this date and before opens in same tab and new tab)

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060920 Minefield/3.0a1

Doesn't open in new tab (opens in same tab)

Another link http://justinsomnia.org/2006/10/justinsomnia-on-ie7/ Try ctrl+left-click on '[FF1.5] [FF2.0RC3] [IE6] [IE7]' and nothing happens, right click and open in tab does just that. left click changes the image in that box based on which link you clicked

This is very annoying on pages that this happens on and leaves the user wondering why the heck nothing is happening.  Blocking...although this doesn't happen on MSN anymore so I'm not sure how widely a problem this is/will be.
