With version 4.0.x I used to just login to the backend on Firefox and right click and choose "open in new tab" on
the Settings and Developer buttons. With version 4.5 I have to manually open 3 tabs in Firefox and change the #settings and #developer suffix in the
url manually. This kinda sucks.
This is because 4.5 now has persistence between applications and trees. You'll find that switching between applications is extremely fast because it remembers states between your applications and trees. This was a hugely requested feature that people wanted from version 4, so we did it. You might even find that instead of having multiple tabs open that it is just as fast to just navigate between apps instead of between tabs.
I can probably update the link so that firefox recognizes this as a link to give you the context menu that you are looking for but this won't be committed until 4.5.3

I look forward to seeing the speed improvements. I am just used to working a certain way (after all these years... :-) ) and it would be great especially for transitioning if the "old way" were to remain functioning.
Bring back the right-click functionality in version 4.5

Arjan, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this change-for-the-worse!
The difference is that in 4.0.x the icons in the section menu are rendered like this:
In 4.5.x it is using the "href" attribute for the javascript:
This might seem like a small thing, but it is so annoying that I might delay upgrading my sites unless it gets changed back.
Please Core Devs, fix this for the next release!
Thanks, Heather
