Hello, i described it all in the summary. 
I have a page where i check my account status memory-wise. It's just an example anyway. When i click on the shortcut that i created (of course, with middle button - so it opens in a new tab), i want to be able to switch back to what i was doing, which is NOT the case - because i get that 'BEEP' that means something like good old 'unable to comply'.

Another thing, it would be good to be able to middle-click on the GO button, next to the Address bar, to opet entered address in a new tab. Would add-up to the consistency. 

I've been waiting for this little feature(s) for quite a while now.
Hope i didn't repeat.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a site.
2. open a new won, for which you know it will ask for a user/pass
3. try to continue what you were doing :)



Actual Results:  
As described in the problem

Expected Results:  
Also described - i want to be able to ignore it, at least for a while... The tab could blink to warn me something is going on.

Firefox 2.0 will have this feature.
