OK, it’s probably Twitter to blame for the “click anything in the Tweet aside from the expand wheel, the Tweet page opens IN THIS TAB and then the LGF page is erased from the history” issue.

And of course it clears up and works normally once the tweet is a full expanded tweet.

Doesn’t change the fact that it is damn hard to remember every time you see a tweet that you either need to right-click it, or expand it, to keep from corrupting your session.
