i have a local html-file with a couple of links with the 'target="blank" ' attribute. On a normal website it opens the link in a new Tab every time i click on a link, not so in the local file: it opens one new Tab(1) and when i try to open a second one it opens in the first new Tab(1). I can go back in history in the new Tab(1) but not open a second new Tab - except with a middle click but then what is 'target="blank" ' for? I hope you know what i mean.

Keep on the good work.
