So, I have a mouse with two real buttons and one additional button is the wheel
button when you press it down. I have configured X to use the 3 buttons. Also, I
have the tabbed browsing ON in my preferences, so when I middle (3-rd button)
click in a link, it will open as a tab.

So, I was browsing some stuff, and then I clicked on the Search button next to
the Mozilla's Location bar and went to Google to read the results. After that, I
continued browsing around.

Each time I middle-click a link, it correctly opens a new tab. HOWEVER, when you
middle click a NON-Link (a simple image for example), it loads in the current
page a page found in the HISTORY!! In my situation, it actually was loading the
google result page that I had browsed earlier!
