Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter a multi link page (such as facebook for example). 2. Choose a link and right click it, and select "open link in new tab". Actual Results: When clicking on the new tab (in order to view it of course) the page is not loaded, but seems to be in a sort of a "stand by" mode, waiting for the instruction be loaded to be given manually. Expected Results: I would expect the tab to be loaded automatically as it has with former versions. If it is of any relevance, I'm using the "Bright Blue Abstract" Persona.
Forgot to mention when left clicking on the click to open the link in the present tab, it opens normally, hope it helps :)
Version: unspecified → 3.6 Branch
This is probably caused by an add-on. Please retest in safe-mode: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

I have to admit it did help, however i added no new add-ons when upgrading to 3.6 perhaps an add-on compatibility issue?
As Firefox's code changes some extensions may be not be able to work anymore properly with the new version. The extension's author should test and fix this. Please report it to him. Resolving INVA.

Indeed, i have disabled a toolbar that has caused the problem, i have reported the compatibility issue to him. Thank you.

It's an Israeli Toolbar called Mako. (it's from an Israeli TV station).
