When I do a search on google for instance, google put in strong the terms
searched for in its result.
When I try to middle-click on this text (put in strong) to follow the link,
nothing append while it should open a new link.
Everything works fine when I click on the part of the link where text is not
formatted

Thanks a lot, the problem was due to an extension: View Cookies or Single
Windows (I don't know exactly which one)

Single window mode is known to cause this problem, I believe updating to the
newest version of the extension fixes the problem.
