If I tried to open a javascript link in a new tab the page will not load, the link loads properly in the same window.

The links for the products on the page reference below are javascript links that have the form of this: "javascript:document.SearchForm.action='search_individual_result.asp?current=329914&page=9';document.SearchForm.submit()". If I try to open the link in a new tab or a new window the page will not load, it will simply put the javascript link in the address bar. I've had this problem on other websites, as well.

I have tried the Middle Click usercontent.css script and the greasemonkey script but neither have solved the problem.

Most of the other websites I experience this problem on are secured websites.

You can't middle-click a JavaScript link to open that link in new tab without using an extension that supports that.

Maybe:

I've been looking for an extension, but haven't been able to find one, Tab Mix was no help for this issue, at least I couldn't find a setting that fixed the problem.
