(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Manuel Strehl]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Look e.g. on the search button on mozilla.org. You want to read the page,
meanwhile you'd like to search it for another topic. So wouldn't it be nice, if
you could submit your search request in a new tab? E.g. click the button with
the middle button of your mouse, and read on while the search data is transmitted.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Open a new tab, when middle-clicking on a submit button (alternatively show
"open new tab" in context menu).
