144401 - Ctrl-Click and Middle Mouse Button Click for new tabs should be separate options

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 120898

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Shayon Mukerjee]

In Edit > Preferences > Navigator > Tabbed Browsing we have a few options

Nearly every option in Mozilla's preferences controls a single variable (see
advanced > scripts and windows, for example).  However, here we see

Open Tabs Instead of Windows for
[] middle click or control click of links
[] control+enter in location bar

Yet, these should be three options.  What I would like is a separate checkbox
for "middle click" and "control click".

This way, I can browse the way I want to, and I have separate shortcuts
depending on how I want to open my windows.  Currently, I cannot set a way to
have a shortcut to open in a new window while simultaneously having a shortcut
to open in a tabbed window.  As a result, this is essentially an either/or
decision as to whether or not I'm going to be able to use tabs efficiently.

Plus, this can't be too big of a change to implement, and will very simply add
diversity to the configuration of mozilla.
