If an XHTML page has a content type of application/XHTML + XML then using the
scroll wheel to open a link in a new tab does not work and you just get the
scrolling graphic as when you depress the scroll wheel not over a link.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Visit an XHTML page with a content type of application/XHTML + XML (such as
http://www.juicystudio.com)
2.click on a link with the scroll wheel of your mouse
Actual Results:  
The link did not open

Expected Results:  
Opened the link in a new tab

This works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a)
Gecko/20040116 Firebird/0.8.0+ on both sites that the reporter mentioned (and
all other such sites, such as www.w3.org).

Please try to reproduce this with a more recent build, and make sure that
opening links using the middle button work for non application/xhtml+xml sites
as well. If you're still having a problem, then reopen the bug. Thanks.
