Details

Due to habit formation, I often Ctrl+click on Links/URLs of received messages, just because I am used to ctrl-clicking on most links in Firefox. Unfortunately, Thunderbird completely ignores ctrl-clicks on links within emails. Steps to reproduce: 1. In a received email with a link, ctrl+click on the link/URL Actual Results: Nothing Expected Results: TB should load the URL (either within TB in a new tab, or, more likey, in Firefox), because Ctrl+Click is a common usage pattern that users are accustomed to from Firefox.
