add-ons Manager URLs are not opened in new [tab] when a middle mouse click is applied.
In Linux a paste of the X-copy buffer is applied to the page, if this is a URL then the [tab] is re-purposed to that URL

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open add-ons Manager
2. click ´show more details about the add-on
3. middle click URL on page (left click opens URL in new [tab]
4. strange behaviour X copy buffer is pasted to page
   a) if this is text -> nothing happens
   b) if this is a URL -> set [tab] to this URL 
Actual Results:  
add-ons Manager
middle click URL on page
strange behaviour X copy buffer is pasted to page
  a) if this is text -> nothing happens

Expected Results:  
1. open add-ons Manager
2. click ´show more details about the add-on
3. middle click URL on page
4. new [tab] opens at the URL
   as would happen on a ordinary page

also unable to highlight and copy the URL

Happens on all platforms. Confirmed with Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110226 Firefox/4.0b13pre ID:20110226030401

This would be very nice to have in Firefox 4.0.  It's possibly a related or even mergeable problem as allowing text in the add-ons manager to be selectable (bug 616437).
Pretty unrelated I'd say.(In reply to comment #2)
