Exactly it Lightbreeze! Any link inside of pages opened by firefox when right-click evolution opens... Actualy I didn't see if 9.4 vesion already fixed this bug, but until 8.10 this bug persists. What the scene to this bug:

  -- You're using firefox and you whant to open a link in other tap. So you right-click in the link to open the context menu and click "open in other tap" option ( I can do it in windows and openSuse well ).. Most times when I did it ( sinse ubuntu 8.4 until 8.10 ), right-clicked in a link, evolution opened instead of the context menu. Fell times the context menu opened in the first time, the rest evolution opens and I need to close it and click in the link again to appears the context menu.

You may be clicking 'Send Link...' accidentally, is this possible?
I suggest clicking a link with the middle mouse button to open a new tab - works a treat :-)

I don't think so.. Only a single right-click open the evolution insted of context menu.. I know that the middle button open a new tab in second layer, but we don't use the context menu only to open a new tap right? =]

I know that this isn't a relevant bug but only in ubuntu that I've saw it happens. I've tried in opensuse, centos and windows, neither them I saw this problem.
