Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I am using Ubuntu 9.04. This was an upgrade from 8.10.

The version of Firefox I am using is 3.0.10+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1

What I expected to happen: when you ctrl+left click to open a new link without navigating away from the page you are currently on, Firefox should not be then put into resize font mode.

What happens currently is when I ctrl+click a link, Firefox opens a new tab with the url that was clicked. But it also enters font resize mode. You have to ctrl+click again to get out of that mode. If you do not and then try scrolling up or down on the web page using the mouse wheel, your web page font size is enlarged or reduced greatly, depending on how much you scrolled using the wheel.
