Command-Click Doesn't Open in a New Tab in this Site

In OS X, command-click is a common way to activate options with the single button, and to open new tabs. In Apple's laptops, the command button and the touchpad are right next to each other, so it is one-handed-acessible too, unlike many other "shortcuts."

It usually works in Firefox, but it doesn't work in this help site. It opens the article over the list of results, and it is impossible to return to the list of results.

Aside from always using a two-button or-extra-button mouse, and never absentmindedly using the touchpad, is there any way to avoid this?

Can you explain which section of support.mozilla.org is not working? Was this when you asked a question? All parts of the site?

I think some of those are my own, but less precise than this...

Anyway, this occurs while trying to search for answers, and trying to open one question or answer or support article from the list.
