John, I've tried to reproduce your failure here, and I can't. I'm running FF 17.0.1; normally I use Tab Mix Plus and Colorful Tabs, but I disabled them for this test. Left-clicking on a link opens that link in the current tab. Right-clicking gives me a context menu with the options to open the link in a new tab or a new window. Middle-clicking opens the link in a new tab, but retains focus in the original tab. Control-left-clicking has the same result as middle-clicking. On the other hand, clicking on a "mailto:"; link did indeed open a new instance of Claws-Mail. (I tried it just now while composing this reply.) This seems reasonable to me, but I admit that I've never had much call to use "mailto:"; links, so I don't know what any previous behavior would have been. Ennyhoo, the only thing I can think of is that there is something odd set in your profile. Try renaming your ~/.mozilla/firefox directory to something else, and then see how Firefox behaves. Sorry I couldn't be more help. --Dale -- The attitude of "Oh, you want it should work?
