Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
1- If you left-click on the dropdown button to the left of the URL bar, and then click on an URL, you're taken to that address.
2 - If you click on the button, then MIDDLE-CLICK on the URL, firefox opens it on a new tab.
Something I usually do is clicking the dropdown button and keep pressed, then release the button when I'm over the desired URL that allows me to perform operation no.1 with just one click.
I would like to be able to perform operation no.2 with just one click too, that is, MIDDLE-CLICKING the dropdown button and keep pressed, then release when I'm over the desired URL to open it on a new tab. But it seems middle-clicking the dropdown button has no effect at all.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. middle click and hold the dropdown history button at the right of the URL bar
Actual Results:
nothing happens
Expected Results:
a. History shows (as if left mouse button was clicked).
b. Pointer can be moved down to chosen URL in the history shown, while holding
middle button.
c. Releasing middle button at chosen URL opens URL in new tab.
