That annoyance rings a bell, but I don't seem to have it - just using 1.0.7 here, and ctrl+click on "break out" links works fine (like in gmail for instance).
Right, but try opening it in the same *tab*.
Err, I mean ctrl+click opens it in a new tab. I'm not sure why I'd want to open another window in the *same* tab. I think with new FF you can drag/drop the other tab back onto the first. Fwiw, the extension that highlights external links differently is awesome and highly recommended...
Because lots of people do *not* want the website breaking the customary semantics of a link (take this browser window to the new place).

Consider my use of "lose" in the sense of "losing your keyboard under a pile of paper". Not irretrievable loss, just temporary inaccessibility.
Yeah, I had that. Hence my pre-emptive strike of labelling it elitist. (Though why expecting people to be competent in using their tools is elitest these days eludes me -- what is this, high school?)
