When I middle-click on a hyperlink in a devhelp document, it opens a new
tab with the content I wanted in, but it then switches to that tab. This
is very annoying and the overwhelming consensus asking around the
office shows that I'm not the only one finding this annoying.

Actually middle clicking was broken since the switch to webkit, so I rewrote the support and made it open links in the background.
