Why can't I middle click "Paste and go" to launch a new tab?

When right clicking the address bar to paste a link, the context menu gives you the option of "Paste and Go" but only allows you to left click. How do I get it so that I can middle click the the context menu so that it will load in a new tab, like normal middle clicking behavior?

Does Firefox have any plan to enable this feature? Its extremely annoying to have to open a new tab and click on it before being able to paste and go. I usually will just paste, then ALT+Enter to open a new tab but don't always have my keyboard handy while surfing the web from my couch.

Note that you can paste the text in the location bar and then middle-click the Go button to open the link in a new tab.

Yes, that's always been true. Too many clicks!
