Bug Description

Search for 'midori mht'
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=midori%20mht&t=midori

and then click on the 'Sponsored link'. Instead of accessing the link Midori will load an empty tab (no speedial, address, etc.). Hit 'Back' and it will get you to the speeddial (or to the previously visited page, NOT to the DDG).

This is not really a midori bug - the reason is adblock and its rules.
Maybe adblock should ignore requests if the user explicitly clicked on a link or something like that.
