282376 - ALL "Latest Headlines" load, in their own tabs, when mousewheel is clicked on "Latest Headlines" button

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[mj535_uk]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

When I accidentally clicked on "Latest Headlines" with my mouse wheel, ALL of
them opened, in new tabs.  But if I am looking at 2 sites in 2 tabs, for
example, the first 2 headlines will take over those tabs clearing what I was
looking at.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Firefox
2.Hover over "Latest Headlines"
3.Click the mouse wheel (push it down)

Actual Results:  
All the "Latest Headlines" loaded, and the first number depending on how many
tabs I had open loaded into those tabs, clearing the page I was originally
looking at.  The other headlines all loaded into new tabs, so I saw
approximately 30 new tabs all downloading pages at once, which slowed my
connection down a little bit and it was irritating to have to close them all.

Expected Results:  
The mouse wheel clicking should not have loaded all of the headlines.  Only the
left and right mouse buttons should activate that menu.

This behaviour is by design, middle-click on a folder/live bookmark "folder"
will open all in tabs.  Opening a set of bookmarks replaces the existing tabs,
this is by design and will not be changed.
