It lets me open a tab on BOTH middle and control click, or NEITHER.
I want a way to open a tab or open a new window or open inline. Without
tedious menus. Still, that's for the Mozilla lists, not here. My concern
is placement of new windows.

In my first item I explained that I had written myself a tool to do this.
Works. But too slow. As I said, the new windows eventually appear over
my mouse, taking the focus (briefly, until they shift). And guess what
happens - my middle click, intended for the main index page I was using,
goes to the new window, which takes it as a request to go to the URL in
the cut buffer (typically not a URL at all).
The core issue is not that I can relocate these windows _once_ they
appear, but that in the gap between appearance and movement it's there
for real, and steals my focus, which is bad for the focused window and
the new window.
