So do I. I just tried it. I get a left and a right click. So the menu shows up for a little while, then it follows the link anyway. Wherever the Emulate3Buttons setting is in Windows, it's not on for me. I open new tabs by right clicking then left clicking for a reason, and it's not because I don't know about the dozen other ways to open a tab.

I'm surprised nobody's suggested "hit tab until the link is highlighted, then hit the menu key" yet. There's another great workaround.
