Why doesn't ctrl click to open URL in new tab always work?
Same action as control enter (windows desktop); should open link in new tab. Works most, but not all of the time. What might be the reason for that?
Using version 31; I only started seeing this behavior recently.

It might be that the link in question looks like a link, but was not flagged as a link.
Next time, try this; In Firefox, Highlight the bad link, right click, and select open new tab / window.
If this does not help, post the web address of that page, and tell use what does not work. Give directions.
They're all links. The best repro I can give is drudgereport.com Almost always the top-most story linked but also many other linked stories. Right-click, open in new tab always works, but I'm a key user (that's the reason I posed the question).
I went to that page and tried a bunch of links. The opened properly.
Wait, you said Control Enter, do you have a mouse?
A possible cause is that there is JavaScript tied to the link via an onclick attribute or via an event handler.
Control enter or control click; same thing. Should always open in new tab but doesn't (always).
