If links that open new windows are set to open new tabs instead, and new tabs
are set to open in background, left-clicking links might open them in background.

Although the settings' wording explains that perfectly, I believe left click
should NEVER open things in background. This is very confusing - especially if
you don't expect that. It looks like your click is being ignored. If someone
left-clicked, he wants to follow the link right now. If he wanted to open it in
the background, he would middle click.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set a perfectly reasonable configuration: tabs open in background, new tabs
open for _blank tagrets
2. Find a link with tagret="_blank". Click to follow.

Actual Results:
You don't follow the link. Something happens (we know what) but you aren't
following the link.

Expected Results:
The link should open before your eyes, just like for the other two options (same
tab, new window) and just like in other browsers.

Sometimes, a person who never used FF before sits before my computer. Until now,
he never saw a difference (wasn't using it too much) - browsing was just like
before.
Right now, I expect these persons to get stuck at first _blank link they
encounter (and no, I'm not changing my favorite configuration for them...)
