I think marking this as 'won't fix' is a mistake, for two reasons:

 - This bug is most problematic for the most able users, and they are the ones who people turn to for advice on which OS / distro to use.
 - Firefox now works better in Windows than it does on Ubuntu.  Bug One is dependent on this bug.

I hope I don't come across as grumbling; I do appreciate the huge amount
of work that goes into this system - but I do think it's important that
this bug gets fixed.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: firefox

  With the new menu placed above the firefox window, I can no longer
  middle click a bookmark from the bookmarks menu to open in a new tab.
  No matter whether I left, middle or right click, it is treated as a
  left click and opens in my currently open tab.

  Steps to reproduce:
  Click "Bookmarks" menu and middle-click one of your bookmarks

  What should happen:
  That bookmark opens in a new tab

  What actually happens:
  That bookmark opens in the current tab
