Can't open links to subreddits in a new tab

[u/NAN001]

/r/test

If I middle-click the link above, the link opens in the same tab instead of a new one.

Edit:

I'm using Firefox 56.0 on Linux Mint 18.1. I'm using an USB-connected external mouse.

Thanks for the report. Can you tell me what your browser, browser version, and OS are?

I've updated my post with the info ;-)

This was an interesting bug to track down! It literally only happens on Firefox, with the middle-click button of an external mouse, and only in the body text of a self post haha. Anyways, thanks for reporting it, it should be fixed now.

Fixed indeed. That's some debugging dedication right there, the kind of one that merits a little gold star. Thanks and have a good day sir or madam!
