Weird Firefox Behavior

[ngaller]

I am using Firefox 3.0.11, overall it works great on those forums (whereas IE8 is rather slow and throws Javascript errors when writing a post), however there is one strange behavior that has been annoying me.  I like to go down the list of post and middle-click each one of them to open them in new tabs.  However when I middle click (or Ctrl+Click) a post link it immediately opens in the current window, in addition to opening in a new tab.  The other links (e.g. the navigation links at the top) don't have that problem.  If I use middle-click in IE8 it works fine.  It sounds like I am nit-picking but it is actually quite disrupting to the way I like to read forums, I was also puzzled as I have never had that problem with other forum software.

Thanks.

Thanks so much for your feedback. 

I agree, using Firefox is overall a better experience when viewing the community.  This is a particular frustration for me as well since Firefox is my main browser.  This is actually a known issue within the community software and we have an open case with our software provider.  It has been assigned to their engineering team and I am told that they are actively working on a resolution, but they don't have one yet.  They hope to have one in the near future.  As soon as I hear something I will report it back here. Hang in there, hopefully they will have it resolved soon.

Thanks,

Tawny

Have been sticking to IE for Community interaction - am probably switching to FF.

Any update on this?

Thanks -

I use Chrome for the community and have had no issues.

I think they fixed this. I use Firefox and there was originally an issue (trapping mouse down events with javascript) but that is no longer the case.

It appears to be broken again

Chrome has never given me an issue.  I quite prefer it over other browsers, especially in the community site.

Same here.... I have used Chrome exclusively w/teh community since Chrome was first released!

Browser choice in order:

    Chrome

    FF (latest released.. never touch beta junk)

    IE7... only if I have to.

    IE8.. yuck....

Thanks for the alert and sorry for the less than stellar experience.  We've noticed this issue re-occurring as well and have alerted Lithium who is working on the issue now.  They should have a fix in the near future.

Thanks,
