When I middle click on a link like <a href=something><x>something</x></a> where
x is something like b, k, i or even img href=somepic and probably others it does
not work at all. Sometimes it also occurs on links without any tags inside, but
I can't find out in which case it exactly occures.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a homepage containing links like <a ..><b>...</b></a> or <a ...><img...></a>
2. Setting: middle click opens new tab
3. middle click on a link defined under point 1

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
a new tab to open with the url form the middle clicked link

Probably it's a caused error from one or more extensions I have installed.
If it's caused by one of your extensions it's not a firefox bug, you would need
to approach the developer of the extension that's causing the problem.
