This problem seems to come and go, as it pleases. During some sessions Right Clicking an Article or News Story and clicking Open in new tab, works, other times, the News story will also open in the current tab and you lose where your were.

In addition, the sliding bar of pictures/storys which appears toward top of page, will show the pictures of the storys sometimes, and other times they will be blank, or some of them will be blank.

About had it with Firefox, having to "Refresh it every week due to slowness, also !
