Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050706 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/firefox-1.0+.en-US.win32.installer.exe

In any website middle-click was not working. I tried right-clicking and
selecting open link in new tab but that did not work either. My next attempt was
to drag the link into the tab bar - the four or so versions of Alpha 2 prior to
the one with the URL specified crashed when this was done, however this version
allows the dragging of the link into the tab bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load website - most common choice: qgl.ausforums.com
2. Try to middle-click link or right-click link and select "open link in new tab"
3. Drag link into tab bar

Actual Results:  
After step 2) nothing happened, no new tabs were open
After step 3) in earlier Alpha 2 versions the browser crahed, but this version
allows the new tab to be created and loaded.

Expected Results:  
Middle-click and "open link in new tab" should open the linked webpage in a new
tab in the tab bar. for the previous versions, the browser should not have crashed.
Does this occur with todays build? Your build is 4 days old.

Also does it occur with firefox in safe mode?

It occurred with todays build. 

However I tried safe mode (sorry, forgot to try that) and it worked fine. I
disabled my extensions and re-enabled them until the error was reproduced. Now
all bar one of my extensions are enabled and the problem is no more. The cause
was Tabbrowser Extensions 1.14.2005070401
Marking Invalid as per comment 3 this is an extension problem. Please contact
the extension developer about the problem.
