This has been annoying me for a while now, it seems to be ziggit-specific; I don’t see it in other Discourse forums.

In the drop-down search results, when you middle-click on the blue headline of a search result, it just opens the https://ziggit.dev/null 404 page in a new tab, instead of the actual topic:

It happens only Firefox (tested on Linux and MacOS); it works correctly in Chrome.

Left-clicking (to open the topic in the same tab) or right-clicking and selecting “open in new tab” works correctly, just middle-clicking is broken.

Middle-clicking anywhere else on the result’s box (e.g. the text preview below) also works correctly, just the blue topic name is broken. So this is an easy workaround, but the issue is still annoying because intuitively I tend to click on the headline which looks like a link.
