This is definitely a profile problem. I cleared out all the cruft in the profile
directory (everything except cook*.txt, *.db, *.s, bookmarks.html, and prefs.js),
and let Mozilla recreate everything it needed. The two problems above are
solved, and there is one extra bonus - middle clicking on a link now opens a new
tab *without switching to it*. This is what I always wanted, and I was quite
surprised to see this new behavior. I'm not sure which behavior is "correct" - but
I'm glad it now works the way it does. ;)
