Fix middle mouse on links in the feed popup

[ThiefMaster]

When viewing a feed in the popup, middle-clicking a link in the content of a feed's entry doesn't do anything. It should open the link in a new (background) tab though.

Also I noticed some cases where left-clicking a link caused the page to load inside the popup, breaking it and requiring me to disable and re-enable the whole extension (or restart firefox).

Could you please provide the feeds for testing?

It happens for me with this feed: http://blog.fefe.de/rss.xml?html

For now all links are opened in a new tab with left mouse click. You don't need to use the middle mouse button.

Unable to reproduce the problem, all link works fine for me. Could you please specify an exact entry on which the bug can be reproduced?

Happened on all entries.

Could it be related to this GreaseMonkey script I'm running?

// ==UserScript==
// @name           _blank Must Die
// @namespace      http://maxkueng.com/gmscripts
// @description    Removes the target attribute from hyperlinks that open a new browser window
// @version        1.3
// @author         Max Kueng
// @homepage       http://maxkueng.com/
// @include        *
// ==/UserScript==

(function (){
    var a = window.document.getElementsByTagName('a');
    var regTarget = /^(_blank|blank|_new|new|_neu|neu|_newwin|newwin)$/i;
    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        if (a[i].target.match(regTarget)) {
            //a[i].removeAttribute("target");
            a[i].target = '_top';
        }
    }
}());

If that's the case, maybe you can somehow prevent user scripts from running on your extension's panel?
