1249363 - Can't open bug history in new tab/window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1129933

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: User Interface, defect)

Description

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1)  Click the little down arrow under the edit button.
2)  Cmd+click the "history" entry.

EXPECTED RESULTS: Open the link in a new tab or window, as configured in browser preferences.

ACTUAL RESULTS: Replaces the page you were viewing.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  I tried context-clicking so as to use the "open in new tab" context menu option, but the context-click is also treated as "yeah, nuke what I was looking at and show the history instead"....

I don't see any reason not to have the history open in a new tab so I can make this change if glob is cool with it. The other choices in the menu do not load a different page. Just history.

i don't think we should have different behavour on a single menu item, instead we should fix the context menu so cmd+clicking works.
