Since Epiphany is based upon the XUL Gecko engine that Moz/FF uses (I
think I said that correctly) - it also incorporates the magical--> 
'about:config'

So type that/this into the Location Bar; 
"about:config" (no quotes)
Hit Enter
Scroll down to this preference setting;
*browser.tabs.opentabfor.windowopen*
Right-click and select *modify* - change it from 'false' to 'TRUE'
(note: I am uncertain about the Uppercase/lowercase - so make the
entries/edits/modifications in lowercase, since that's how they
originally are).

FWIW - I also have this preference set to TRUE;
browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick

You may also have JavaShit problems that are REdirecting the behavior -
so what I do is disable ALL that Distributed Object Model (DOM) crap;

Type this into the "Filter" box in about:config
*dom.disable* (no asterisks)
and for all 16 that of the type "boolean" that appear -- modify each of
them to be TRUE
Now you are in control of what can occur through JavaShit.

Regards
