It only pops up a scroll wheel option when doing the latter one.

That would normally mean you're not clicking on the actual link, but just a non-clickable portion of the web page. I've tried on multiple browsers and it's still working as expected to me.

Nope!

Its on the clickable folders. 

Ive worked with the dropbox web version for 5+ years now so I do know what I am talking about.

Its a chance made on dropbox's end couple weeks ago.I just want to open dropbox folders etc easily. The rightclick open in tab is so slow/takes way more clicks and is horrible to use when I need to open a lot of tabs.

ctrl + click or middle mouse wheel click takes one click so i really want to get that function back.. 

It still works on some parts of the web version in the top but not on the folders/list.
