   or     "Open www.mozilla.org in new window"

FYI: You appear to be on Unix --- on Unix, you can select the address with the
left mouse button then click to middle mouse button to do this.

Thanks for the tip. 

However, I can't still open the link in a new tab or new window.

but you can, hold down control while clicking middle mouse button.

however, this is a duplicate report.
