I hawe also win2k and latest build 1015 and it is not working for me! And I now that it usted to work until 0.3 relese.
Ignore my prewius posting since now it is working, I dont now why I hade 1015 build and it was not working now it is working. I restarted my PC in meantime. so mybe it is it.
Well I have found aut it was not because off restart. When you hawe bookmars folder wisible via menu wiev toolbars bookmarks toolbar or as customisation of navigation toolbar (By the why via menu view toolbars bookmark toolgbar togle on or of is not working for me) then Control and midle click is working for new tab othewhys it is not working!
This isn't resolved - it fails to work exactly as described, for me. I'm using the latest nightly (timestamped 2002-10-15 09:41) in Win2K SP2, and none of Ctrl-click (does nothing), middle-click (does nothing), or Ctrl-Enter in the location bar (opens the URL in the current tab) work. The relevant prefs options are definitely turned on. I also tried fiddling with the Bookmarks toolbar and sidebar, and putting the Bookmarks button on my nav bar, but this made no difference. However when I clicked the Bookmarks button I found that the menu bar and Customize context menu became completely disabled (greyed out). Normal page context menus and nav buttons still work. Looks like I'll need to drop back to 0.2 for a while.
After some playing about - the menu breaking is actually caused when Customize is chosen, and so is a dupe of 174577. This, and the whole Ctrl-click thing, *and* the home button bug mentioned in 174549, can all be fixed by removing the old pre-0.3 profile directory.
verified.
