Even when using tabs -> background-tabs = True, middle-clicking (or ctrl-clicking) a link on GMail will open it in the foreground.

This isn't (only) because of the target="_blank" it seems - I can't reproduce it with a minimal example using that.

This might or might not be related to #676.

I have a related issue on site (behind a paywall) where middle-click will just open the page in the current tab.

I've noticed this on more sites as of late; I think this used to work better.

Here's a test case:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap.min.css">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <p><a href="http://example.com">Click me!</a></p>
        <p><a href="#">Click me too!</a></p>
        <p><a href="http://example.com">and me!</a></p>

        <script src="http://sugarjs.com/release/current/sugar.min.js"></script>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
        <script>
            $('a:eq(1)').on('click', function() { window.location = 'http://example.com' })
            $('a:eq(2)').on('click', function() { window.location = 'http://example.com' })
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

The first link works, but the 2nd and 3rd don't.
