Hi all,
a question that I have wondered about forever here.
When I click on the more pinkish icon on thread, that marks the thread as having new messages, while holding ctrl, Firefox opens a new thread (as expected) at approximately the new post(s), but also opens in the source tab the ctrl-clicked thread.
When I right-click on the icon and choose "open in new tab" it works as expected (on the new tab opens the thread, the source tab stays the same).
When I do this with the icon on a thread that does not have new posts, it also works as expected.

Anyone know why this behaves in that way?

There's an onclick handler on the rows so you can click outside the links. Annoying when using Ctrl-Click, admittedly (especially on my laptop where there is no middle mouse button).
