User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) When I use control-click to open a link in a new tab, I have to keep the Control key pressed until the new tab appears -- or the link will open in the same tab instead. When Firefox gets bogged down, this can mean holding the key down for over a second. Please forgive me if this is a duplicate issue. This is my #1 complaint about Firefox since I installed it a year ago, and I've suffered with this problem in both Firefox versions 2 & 3. I can't imagine that no one else is having this issue, but I can't seem to find it searching the bug database. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Press & hold Control key 2. Click on a hyperlink & quickly release the Control key 3. Wait for link to open Actual Results: Link opens in the same tab. Expected Results: Link should open in a new tab. This is most noticeable on a slow computer, or when Firefox otherwise gets bogged down. The state of the Control key should be recorded by Firefox when a link is clicked, *NOT* later when the navigation code is trying to decide whether to open the link in a new tab or the same tab.
I have the same problem since I upgrade to firefox 3.5, the new firefox is slower to open new tabs through this method, so if I open 20 tabs this way I should keep Ctrl pressed for about 30 secs since last link clicked. Firefox 3.0.XX was faster opening new tabs, so I haven't notice anything. I even disabled all addons, and still get the same result. Again this problem for me only happens in firefox 3.5 not earlier versions.
This bug is a duplicate of Bug 145313. I had this problem in 3.0 as well, but some people noticed it first in 3.5. Moreover, Bug 484964 and Bug 490122 describe performance problems that makes these ctrl-click bugs really problematic.
