I suspect this has nothing to do with Fedora, but if you will indulge me for a moment:
In FF N, for N < 3.5, I used to click on a URL in (say) a mail message, and get a new browser window. However when I clicked on a URL from within a browser window, I got a new tab. This was how I liked things to work.
In FF 3.5beta this fine distinction seems to have been lost. The preferences setting "open new window as tab" applies universally. Since I keep my mailer and my browser on different desktops, this means that every click from the mailer switches desktops, whereas previously I would just get a new browser window on the *same* desktop.
If anyone knows a magic setting to fix this, I'm all ears. Otherwise I guess I'll report it upstream.

Does middle button click (as opposed to left button click) on a link in mail message open new window or new tab?

From a browser window it get a new tab, independantly of the preferences
setting. However this doesn't let me open a new window when clicking from my mailer, which is what I want. External apps such as the mailer usually only react to left-click in any case.
