Just open any link by clicking with your middle mouse button, and the page will
load like you left clicked it, with the addition to a new tab loading that same
page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to a page with links.
2.Middle Click a link.


Actual Results:  
The same page was loaded in the 'main tab' and in an additional tab

Expected Results:  
Just opened a new link in a new tab.
I'd like to edit this, I was actually wrong. This only seems to occur on
www.msn.com!
I noticed this a long time ago. Microsoft uses a javascript handler to redirect
the current page to the url when you click on it, and in addition your middle
click opens a new tab.
URL: http://www.msn.com/
