when i visit a new site and use a mouse gesture to open a link in a new tab, the
last site i visited opens in the new tab.  this only happens on the first link
that is opened per page.  the best way to re-create this bug is to do a google
search.  open a couple of the returned links in new tabs, then go to page two of
the google returns, when you now attempt to open a link in a new tab, the first
time you do it, page one of google hits will open rather than the link that you
were trying to open.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. do a google search
2. open a couple of the returned links in new tabs
3. go to page two of the google returns
4. now attempt to open a link in a new tab

Actual Results:  
the first time you do it, page one of google hits will open rather than the link
that you were trying to open.  the subsequent attempts to open in a new tab will
work as expected.

Expected Results:  
the link that you were trying to open should have been in the new tab.

If this only happens when using Mouse Gestures then it is a bug in the
extension, please report it to the extension author.

If you can reproduce this problem using Firefox's built-in navigation tools then
please reopen this bug.
