First click on link to new tab works, Second link only works on third click, second click ignored.
Sounds just like the title, very repeatable on this system. 1. I middle-click on a link to open it on the new tab, it works and I see the new page load in the new tab. 2. I then middle-click on another link (think google search results) and nothing happens. 3. Then I click again, and the link i am on loads. 4. repeat step 2-3 on all future links.
This is weird, and driving me nuts.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, Including resetting the profile. Running in safe mode does not fix the issue.
Any suggestions?

You should check your security software: Expired security software causing problems should be removed since it can't be updated.
All installed Firefox extensions - many security products install them. Whether any security software has been uninstalled. Often, parts of uninstalled security software are left behind. If security software needs to be removed, uninstalling from Add/Remove Programs in Windows is always the safest method. If there are problems uninstalling, some companies offer a removal tool.
Clean installation: Close Firefox completely. (File->Exit on Windows/Linux, Firefox->Quit on Mac)
Rename the Firefox installation folder or move it elsewhere.
Windows: This is usually C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox for 32-bit systems and C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox for 64-bit systems. "Mozilla Firefox" can be renamed to "Old Firefox"
Mac: This is usually Macintosh HD/Applications/Firefox.app. Macintosh HD/Applications can be opened in Finder, and Firefox can be dragged to Trash.
Linux: The install location varies based on distribution and installation method. Linux distributions usually don't put Firefox in its own folder, so this method can't be used.
Download Firefox again from mozilla.org and install. (Installation instructions for Windows, Mac, Linux )
If this fixes the problem, you can optionally check the old install folder for global extensions, components, or corrupt/locked files.
My security software is McAfee 8.8 antivirus, and I did the clean installation, the problem remained.
I only run 2 extensions and they were both disabled during safe mode testing. And I also deleted my Mozilla profile only bringing back some saved passwords in the database.
Your instructions missed a Mozilla folder under "Program Data" for Windows 7. Do you have a link to the clean uninstall instructions? Are there registry entries that should be removed for an absolutely clean install?
After looking at it some more it almost seems like the focus of the mouse is taken by the new tab, and then the empty click i experience brings the focus back to the current open tab.
