Why Firefox blocking a "pop-up" tab, when I click with my middle mouse button to actually opening a new tab? I totally understand the reason to stop unwanted tabs to be opened, but I want to open a new tab if I click with MMB.

Please check and fix this bug.

"Firefox prevented this site to opening a pop-up window" in yellow, just under the bookmark toolbar. Nothing to do with any addon :)

Also, I tried to open a twitter link from the twitter webpage...

This happens "randomly", not on every site.
