Back/forward History menu items already allow this; implementing the same feature in context menu seems both natural, and efficient.

<Shift> should be handled too, so users could choose where to open the tab: in background, or foreground.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open context menu in content area.
2. Middle click Back/Forward.
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
The page should be opened in a new tab.
