User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) At times, clicking a link while holding Control will not necessarily open it in a new tab. This appears to happen if the browser is running a few ticks slow because of another CPU hungry page that may be open. It should be checking for the keyboard options at the time of click, instead of once it's ready to load the new page. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have some CPU heavy pages open so the browser may not be immediately responsive 2. Hold Ctrl, click a link, release Ctrl immediately after clicking the link Actual Results: Link opens in the same window/tab Expected Results: Link should've opened in a new tab May be difficult to reproduce, but the issue should be visible by looking at the code. FF seems to look for the keyboard options at a time well beyond the time of click.
