Yes, i can confirm this. It will be nice to see this bug fixed. I'm tired of
hacking browser.js in every build of Firebird, to make my Tabbrowser Preferences
work.

Shouldn't this be closed now since the extension has been updated?

I don't understand what part of the code is a "logic bug" anyway.
handleLinkClick() used to be called on every click, now it's not called on a
left click (unless a modifier is held down) but since handleLinkClick() just
ignores un-modified left-clicks anyway, bypassing the function seems more
efficient. Or am I missing something?

I agree.  TBPref 0.4 works.
