Middle-clicking a title opens a second tab with `javascript:void(0)`

Same here

The issue exists also with Firefox version 44.0b4. Both Windows and Linux.

Can't reproduce. Have you tried to reproduce the bug in a clean FF profile?

[ThiefMaster]

Why not just remove the href="javascript:void(0)" from the links and preventDefault the event in the JS event handler that also handles opening the new tab?

[olsh]

@ThiefMaster yes, it's the most obvious solution. But preventDefault doesn't work in the popup.

I'm also experiencing this constantly (I have a habit of using the middle click for links, it is very hard to change it). Here are some animated screen captures:

This also happens when clicking the "Feedly website", though here only the javascript:void(0) window opens.

I'm using 2.10.12 on Firefox 45.0.1 x64, Windows 10 x64. Default theme. All extensions disabled apart from this one.

In any case, I wanted to thank you for making this useful extension, I've become quite dependent on it for several years now..

Blocked by this.

Panel limitations ... Mouse button shortcuts, such as using the middle button to open a link in a new page, don't work.

I searched but so far I couldn't find a bugzilla issue that tracks this. Somebody did file an issue, though, for cmd+click a link in a panel should open the link in a new tab and it is marked as "fixed", though it seems to have the same behavior as middle-click in this extension's panel.
