User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 / Build ID: 20160516004009 Steps to reproduce: Followup of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1268943#c21 Internal links are not middle mouse clickable. That is, things like * "Add more search engines" (new tab) * "manage your Do Not Track settings" (popup) * "clear your recent history" (popup) * "remove individual cookies" (popup) I am not sure about the Tabs under "Advanced" like "General", "Data Choices", etc. and buttons like "Choose", "Exceptions", etc. Probably easiest if these would handle a middle mouse click just the same as left mouse click. Actual results: Middle mouse click does nothing Expected results: These should also just open in new tabs or if this in inappropriate, e.g. if it opens a popup, then at least do act the same like left mouse click. For a user it is just strange, that middle mouse click does just nothing. At least please make this work like middle mouse click on the left side tabs like "General", "Search", "Content",... which just work.
