What i like to do is open up one of the forum categories (installation, core modules, whatever) and then i middle click them (opens in new tab in firefox)
This is the only site ever, (and i browse like that everywhere, for years) that does this:
When i middle click on a link, or right click, it immediately opens it. It should not do that. it should only open a new tab. So, what happens is I get my new tab, but i also have the current tab go to what i clicked on. Should not happen that way.
Basically i like to open a category, and open new tabs for any discussions that look interesting. I want to keep the main tab on the list of subjects, and open each subject that looks interesting to me in a new tab. I don't get why my current tab switches whether i left, right, or middle click on it. So i end up having to backspace/back button after each click.. weird.
This has always happened with this site, through 2 different login names and 4-5 computers. IE does the same thing, and I don't like chrome so i haven't tried.

Interesting. But it does not work that way for me. The new tab opens, and the original tab stays put. I don't recall it ever doing anything different. I am currently browsing with Firefox 3.6.10 on an XP machine.

I am on windows xp and internet explorer and the middle clicks seems to work just fine for me on this forum. I didn't know about it till now. thank you for sharing.

I experience the same thing on the right clicks. It is a bit of a pain.
Also, if I try to quote a previous post, I get a new tab and the current tab changes.
