Pinned Tabs - clicking a link will no longer open in a new tab - why?
I use pinned tabs and up to this point when left-clicking a link that leads away from the pinned website it would open in a new tab.
That would be according to the description of a pinned tab: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pinned-tabs-keep-favorite-websites-open "Links to other websites open in a new tab so that your Pinned Tab doesn't change. "
This seems to be broken. What's wrong here?
(Disclaimer: I know I can do that by right-clinking or some such but I just want the original feature back that would leave my pinned tab intact)

Separate issue;
Update your Shockwave Flash v14. http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ The link for Flash Player is: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode; Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools > Options Linux; Edit > Preferences Mac; application name > Preferences
Then Advanced > General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.
I updated shockwave and flash player and went through all the steps to inactivate hardware acceleration. Still not working. I don't think hardware acceleration has anything to do with it anyway. It's some kind of bug in the update. Because if I click a link in a pinned tab that leads aways from the pinned url/domain it opens in the same pinned tab. When I then click a link on the new page (still the same tab) it will open in a new tab. That's just the wrong way around.
Well, until someone else can tell you something, use the middle mouse button.
I didn't know about the middle mouse button. I guess I'll have to get a mouse then :-) (used the touch pad so far).
Thanks for trying!!!!
