    Does this happen with all links or only with specific ones?  What browser are you using?  Can you mention a specific web page and link on the page where this happens?

      I use firefox 30 and this occurs when trying to right click on your individual mail at mail.k.st you can not right click and open in new tab, choice is not listed only copy link location is.

      That looks like your mail provider's website is using JavaScript to open the links rather than pointing them to a regular URL.  The way they are doing it it pretty old fashioned and bad practice by modern standards but there is really no way to change it on your end.
